Classic Cover Contest: 19 April 2017 to 26 April 2017
Bonjour, mes amis, et merci beaucoup!
Vive Mlle. Marie!
(And if you don’t know her undeservedly short-lived series, I hope that the cover whets your appetites and that you’ll seek it out.)
Most comic covers present the scene as if we are seeing it straight-on in front of us. However, many memorable covers are drawn as if we are staring down from high above to the ground below.
Thus, this week’s theme: “Bird's-Eye Views.”
This week, please submit the best cover that features a perspective from high above.
For example:
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 1 January 2007.
-Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, 26 April 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.

One of my favorite covers in a time that Frank Miller could really draw. A classic "Miller Daredevil" Lets not forget the very underrated Roger McKenzie wrote this damn fine comic!
