Thank you for the votes. Over the years Superman has been used by Dc to give books a jumpstart or boost sales. This weeks Classic Cover Contest theme is "Superman helped me sell my comic"
Pick a cover that has Superman on it but that is not one of the books he stars in. Example; you can't use a cover from Action, Superman, Lois Lane ,Jimmy Olsen, Dc Comics Presents, World's Finest or anything in the Superman Line. This is my choice- 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 2005. -Covers must be posted before voting begins. -Voting is on Tuesday March 17th, 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 -Put the name 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; don't post disparaging remarks about it. If a cover is more recent that the Classic time frame, kindly point it out and the poster can choose an alternate before voting begins.

^Love that cover, I own the issue. Interesting issue, always wondered if the others were worth grabbing. Anyway, here is my entry!

Not just the first WW comic I owned in German but also the exact same pose I make when I am asked to do something annoying at the office.

Not necessarily used to jumpstart a new book or save a failing one, but, with me knowing precious little about DC, it's the only one I could think of:

Not many people liked this series, but I thought it was enjoyable. However, when Superman was written in after a few issues it seemed painfully obvious they were trying to boost sales (prior to this it didn't have any ties to the DCU that I recall).
