Thank you all for the winning votes and the new, more easily spelled name. Let's go back to a simple contest subject this week. Our theme shall be: Snakes! 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 May 12, 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. -When posting covers, remember GCD (i.e. 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 GCB for your image for others to see it. Enjoy yourselves! Your pal, Curtis Unicorn

My first choice was "Snakes on a Plane", but the comic version came out in 2006. So let's go with this from 2001:

I ALMOST went w/ Marvel Two in One # 66 (Thing and Scarlet Witch vs. the Serpent Crown!). but just had to go with this one, for the reason that it is the cover that got me to buy my 1st Iron Man comic, and I stuck with it for YEARS after (and when the Serpent Society showed up for an extended arc (s) and eventually became Captain America villains, I ended up buying that book for a long time too. For some reason, the Society/Squad. . "spoke" to me, and the concept caused me to buy things I never would have picked up.

That dude's got a lot of confidence going up against a huge constrictor sized venomous snake with that pig sticker. ;-) It must be that nice leopard skin being the only thing covering that gal.

One of the greatest comics of the late Silver Age! Batman is trying to capture Copperhead but the villain is lying low until the heat dies down. So Batman persuades Wonder Woman and Batgirl to pretend they are in love with the Caped Crusader! He's hoping that Copperhead will think that Batman is so busy fending off these lovesick females that the villain will come out into the open for another spectacular crime! But both Wonder Woman and Batgirl really fall in love with Batman! Hilarity ensues! Oh, god, it's dumb. Mod Wonder Woman started a few months later. When you read enough 1960s Wonder Woman, you begin to understand why Mod Wonder Woman seemed like a good idea.

Also congratulations to the former Mr Gallaher on finally revealing his true name to the world. May your horn remain shiny and the laps of virgins be ever welcoming, Mr Unicorn.
