tingametro
I'd like to read some of those stories, even though tingametro didn't give them an outright endorsement, just because the whole premise appeals to me.
Too many great covers this week to list all my honourable mentions.

This is Black Hawk. He was one of the stars of a short lived British anthology title called Tornado, a former slave who became a Roman gladiator. It was a nice little historical adventure strip. Then Tornado got cancelled, and rather than let Black Hawk slip quietly into comics limbo, the publishers transferred him to sci-fi anthology 2000 AD, instead. The results were...interesting... Shades of Hex. What's Hex - not Jonah Hex, I assume? |

What's Hex - not Jonah Hex, I assume? In the last issue of Jonah Hex, he's randomly transported to a distant, Mad Max-like post-apocalyptic future. Then they relaunched the series under the title Hex, which ran for 18 issues or so.  |

I'd been imagining the parallel from the other direction, into the past - i.e. that Hex was originally a Roman gladiator or something who had been transported to 19th century America. And as little as I know about Jonah Hex I was pretty sure that wasn't his origin. |

Sorry, duplicate post. Somehow it came up as "a draft I'd been working on" even though I'd already posted it successfully.

Funny thing, when I came up with this topic for the contest, the cover Hoosier X posted is the one I had in mind. I even had it as my own entry, but at the last second I decided to switch to the Neal Adams cover.

When I saw what this week's topic was, Space Western was the first ting that popped into my mind. I remembered seeing an article about it years ago. So I searched Google images and I saw that Nazi flag and knew it was the best of the bunch. I don't think I've ever picked a cover faster.
This week, for example, I went to the Comic Book Database and looked at more than a hundred issues of Detective Comics trying to find the best one-shot Batman villain to poke fun at. There are so many! Mirror-Man, Mr. Polka Dot, Planet-Master, Jonny Witts, the Getaway Genius, Flame-Master, The Spinner, Double X. But I went with Dr. No-Face because that cover is hilarious.
