Hi everyone--this week's topic is nooses, as in a hangman's noose/the gallows. I know it's a gruesome topic, but I was inspired by the masterful art of Joe Kubert on the cover of a comic I'd wanted for a long time--and just managed to pick up last week!  

Here are the rules:
-Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.
- Cover must be from a published comic book, comic-related magazine, or collected volume published before May 2013.
- Please also include the title of the comic and the issue number, in case some posters cannot see your image.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday May 9, 2023, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59pm 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 of your choice 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.

Looking forward to seeing many interesting covers from everyone!

Here's my cover:
