 Does this count?[/quotes use ] I don't think that was a real cover. It was the inside of a National Lampoon book. |

  GCD says this is Neal Adams, but something about it makes me a little uncertain - can anyone confirm? I'm pretty sure there are at least a few House of Secrets or House of Mystery covers by Adams that I could pick instead. |

 Is that a lighting effect, or is Sauron wearing weird green pants? |

It's strange that this cover was used, you can't see Saurons face. |

I've always liked the cover. There's something kind of creepy about it.
Sauron did wear pants in the two issues he appeared in. They were blue jeans in the actual issues but green on the cover of #61. I'm not sure what's going on there though.

This particular one doesn't seem to be particularly Adams-like-- I get a Wrightson vibe off it more than anything-- but it was a Neal cover. |

Sauron appears to be wearing a green bodysuit on that cover, which I'm pretty sure he never did in the comics. |

No quite right--Jim Aparo took over (most of) the cover art for the last part of his run as the PS artist. Jim drew the cover and interior for Phantom Stranger issues 20-24. But yeah, this is without question an Adams cover, from one of the more fascinating periods of DC's mystery comics, when the influence of gothic romances was very strong. |

Just a reminder that we are a little under five hours away from the deadline to enter this week's contest honoring the covers of Neal Adams.
If you haven't played or won before, there are quite a few (more than a hundred?) possible winning entries still available.
