Thanks again, everyone.
In the last five days I've attended three birthday parties, so...the topic is birthdays!
Pick a classic cover that has depicts something to do with a birthday--birthday cakes, celebrations, someone or something's birthday or birth day--however you interpret the topic.
The Cover Contest Constitution:
- 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 February 2007.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, 28 February 2017, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending 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.
- 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; please don't post disparaging remarks about it.
- If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out so that the poster can choose an alternate before voting begins.
But wait!
There's more:
Repeating this: please make sure you put your vote in bold.
If you are posting cover images directly from a website:
1) Do not use comics.org (aka Grand Comics Database). You'll see your posted cover, but the rest of us won't be able to see it; instead we will see a blank box with the helpful text "See the original at comics.org."
2) Try not to use cover images from wikia, as their images shrink when posted outside of wikia. If you post directly from wikia then that cover image shows up really tiny here, so tiny we may not be able to appreciate its details.
Better options: comicbookdb.com, coverbrowser.com
Have fun--looking forward to seeing some great covers
And here's wishing a Happy Birthday to CCF's Mr. Trombone 🎂🎂🎂
