For this week's contest, let's see characters--heroes, bad guys, or innocents caught up in injustice--getting arrested by law enforcement authorities and led away in fetters (or any other form of restraint, so long as the cover image makes it clear that an arrest or other form of officially-sanctioned capture is occurring; in other words, a hero captured and chained by a villain alone does not qualify, unless that villain is acting under the color of formal authority!).
For example, here's
Star Spangled Comics #127:
(This post allows me to rectify an oversight I made in my Brave and Bold cover contest challenge of a few years back. In reading the PHANTOM STRANGER OMNIBUS, I realized that, although he didn't appear on the cover of BRAVE & BOLD #89 as a billed co-star, Dr. Thirteen, a one-time cover feature at DC, appeared as a co-star in the story, just as he was then being featured as the regular co-star in PHANTOM STRANGER. Therefore, my personal challenge could not be truly complete until I had used a Dr. Thirteen cover as an entry in our community's weekly classic cover contest. That oversight is hereby corrected!)
The Rules:
- Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.
- The cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before July 2014.
- Please include the title and the issue number of the comic (e.g., Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #142) in case some posters cannot see your image.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, 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.
