To celebrate my purchase of the Red Nails Artist Archives, this contest is the best covers by Barry Smith, with or without the Windsor. I'll start with the cover that started me as a life long comic reader and collector. The rules: -Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest. -Cover must be from a published comic book, collected volume, or, apparently, fanzine published before May 2007. -Covers must be posted before voting begins. -Voting takes place on Tuesday, May 23, 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. -Don't link from comics.org or Wikia; the images don't show up here.

Ok, this is probably not the first cover you think of when you think BWS, but, looking at the selection, being honest, this was one of the most powerful covers of his IMO. There are more popular titles and concepts, but the brutal impact and threat of Rune, the space vampire, against the Silver Surfer, just impacted me in a huge way, so much so that I passed some other covers including some favorites from Valiant.

I was going to sit this one out, since I'm not a BWS fan (with a story behind that), but then I remembered this fanzine from '74 or so: {Wont somebody think of the children!! (click to reveal)}
