I loved the way Aparo drew the vegetation in this moody cover.

Hoosier X for a relatively tame but attractive cover that's never before drawn my attention.

Um, your entry isn't visible, pip. Oh, it's the comic book adaptation of John Cage's 4'33"!

For this week's contest, I'd like to see... SONGSSingers, bands, song lyrics...let's make some music! 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 January 2006. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting begins on Tuesday, April 19 at 12:01am PST and ends 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 or it will not be tallied. - 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. - When posting covers, remember GCD (aka comics.org) doesn't allow hotlinking and if you use them for the source to post your cover, you will see it because it is in your cache, but no one else will be able to see it. Use a source other than the GCD for your image for others to see it.

I really never expected this win (heck, I forgot I even had an entry this week)! New contest up shortly.

The origin of the phrase "Opening up a can of whoop-ass"...?

I once had the idea of using only Wonder Woman covers, and I think I probably could have made it work. I think you still could with Lois, DE. I think you just froze this week. Remember, not every clock is in 60 minute increments! I'm pretty sure I know which one you mean (especially since I just went through all 137 covers this morning). I considered using it, but it really is more of a calendar than a clock to my mind. But thanks for the support.
It proves once again that Lois and Lana can be pretty cold.
More of a timer than a calendar, since the dial presumably ticks down to 0. That's a clock in my world. I'd also make the case that some of the jewelry we see on her left wrist is a watch, but I also see that at least one definition of "clock" specifically excludes watches.

Secrets of Haunted House Secrets: Jim Aparo's original art (which I once owned) did not have the hands of the clock at midnight. Presumably it was altered to fit the story title.

My plan for using only wacky Lois Lane covers for this contest has failed. There's not a single Lois Lane cover with a clock on it. I once had the idea of using only Wonder Woman covers, and I think I probably could have made it work. I think you still could with Lois, DE. I think you just froze this week. Remember, not every clock is in 60 minute increments!

Farrar gets my vote, too. I can't think of a better costume makeover than Wonder Girl's.

Yes, that was a really gorgeous cover by Everett, probably my favorite. When it was published in the early 70's, I think his art was considered quaintly old-fashioned, but I really think if this stuff were being published today, his art would be extremely popular to the far more diverse modern audience. I think female comics readers would respond especially positively.
