Sorry to follow up last week's artist-based contest with another one, but I really wanted to celebrate Mr. George Perez. The minimum art requirement is that he is the cover's pencil artist; the cover doesn't also have to inked by him (though it can be). And I think most or maybe all of us recognize his work, right? If not just ask, we're all friends here.
Yes, we've had him as a topic before so I'm adding a twist
to make it more challenging: post your favorite Perez cover that has 5 or fewer characters on the cover. In other words, no Perez covers with his trademark cast of thousands.
Here's my cover to use as an example:
Avengers #185, Marvel, 1979
one of my favorite Wanda & Pietro covers!
The Cover Contest Constitution:
- 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 22 December 2011.
- Please include the title and the issue number of the comic in case some posters cannot see your image.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, 29 December 2021, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59am PST.
- Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most. Please put the name in bold.
- And please put the name of your cover in bold as well.
- 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.
I hope everyone enjoys this. Looking forward to seeing a bevy of awesome and exquisite Perez covers!

- Floating heads that appear in the cover's main image do count toward the 5 character limit.
