This is a week for big things--namely man-made landmarks. These can be statues, monuments, buildings, etc., as long as they are 1) real and 2) commonly known and identifiable. Natural landmarks like the Grand Canyon or Mount Everest don't count. The fine print: - Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest. - Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before November 2013. - Please include the title and the issue number of the comic, preferably in bold (e.g. Brother Power the Geek #2, DC 1968), in case some posters cannot see your image. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place on Tuesday, November 8, 2023, beginning at 12:01 am PST and ending at 11:59 am PST. - Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most in bold. - The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period ends. - The winner chooses the theme for the next week's contest. - If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't vote for it; please don't post disparaging remarks about it. - If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out to the poster, who may then choose an alternate before voting begins. |

Marge's Little Lulu #165 (1962). This is the first LL issue published by Western under their new Gold Key imprint. Cover by John Stanley That's the first cover that came to mind for me, but I didn't want to use it, because a) I wanted to find a monument/landmark that hasn't already been used (which isn't easy) and b) I already won one of these with that cover about year or two ago. |

Ah, I didn't remember that--thanks for the info. Hmmm, maybe I will change my cover--stay tuned. |

Oh, no need as far as I'm concerned; it's a *very* nice cover - not posting a cover I'd already used (and won with) before is just a rule I set for myself. |

^^^ EdoBosnar, I just checked and yes, I see you won with it 3 years ago, back in Oct. 2020. I love the cover--it's a beaut! But as mentioned I may change it, don't want to ruffle any feathers. |
