I always enjoy a good monster, so this week's theme shall be Weird Creatures!
Find the cover with oddest, funniest, most disturbing creature you've ever seen. 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 April 14, 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. I'll open with this cover:

Madcoil, only around for a short flashback in a single issue of Elfquest, and yet one of the most prominent characters.

Mr. Jip, who played a large role in the Cloak & Dagger stories in the late '80s revival of Strange Tales.

I only wish that this guy's two even creepier "brothers" were on the cover. One had eyes in the palms of his hands and a blank-faced head, and the other had no head and his face on his chest. All pitiful creatures, and a great story...

This story is SO GREAT!!!
The hero defeats the monster by running up to him, opening a door in his foot and then going in and removing his batteries!
Elektro slumps over as he moans something like: YOU -- Have -- killed -- me -- KZAK!
