Many fine covers this week, and many thanks to the jury for choosing mine. And that bulbous Batman head - great stuff! I've got to think of a cover theme (and go to work), but will have one for you later today, probably within 6 hours.

MW Gallagher makes some interesting points about the inkers. Some overpower the original art and some add nothing to the drawing. I thought and consider Joe Sinnott was of the top inkers in comics but I never liked when they put him on bad pencilers like Al Milgrom on the Defenders and Later the Avengers WC book. He was called on save bad art jobs. It felt like a misuse of his talent. My experience with the work of Joe Sinnott comes from his inking of Byrne for the FF. I think his style was too heavy-handed for Byrne's pencils, and I've subsequently not enjoyed his work very much. I've always loved Terry Austin's inking work. Whatever it is that he does...he stays true to the penciller's vision quite well. It's like he knows exactly what the penciller is going for. As for letterers, I always think of John Workman, who did Simonson's Thor run. He's got such a great, iconic style. For colorists, usually when I've thought, Wow, this coloring job is pretty phenomenal! it's ended up being Glynis Wein. This is all for 80's comics, of course, the era I'm most familiar with.

This week's theme is: Who Are You?Post a cover that depicts a character whose identity is somehow obscured (or even not on the cover, but their presence is implied), so that who they are is unknown until you actually read the comic. The rules: -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 Jan. 1, 2006. -Covers must be posted between July 6th and July 11 -Voting is on Tuesday, July 12th, 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. -Put the name in bold, please. -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; don't post disparaging remarks about it. -If a cover is more recent than the Classic time frame, kindly point it out and the poster can choose an alternate before voting begins. -Have fun!! For example:
