Most comics fans have read about a lot of scientists - most of them evil and/or mad. In real life, though, most scientists are awesome people.
So our theme this week will be Good Scientists - not mad, not evil, preferably shown doing something scientific (loosely defined - see my example)
Here are the parameters for this week's experiment:
- 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 March 2006.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting begins on Tuesday, April 6 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.
To start us off, here's a scientist recording some data about the effects of certain stimuli on a test subject:
