The last cover contest is definitely will be my last one this year - because on Wednesdays and Thursdays - I won't be logging on and my family takes first because my brother will be moving into his new home and my nephew agrees to move into his old home and with the holidays approaching - I decided to drop off this contest permanently for personal reasons altogether and that's what I'm intend to do. Sorry Everyone.
I won't be able to logon a few days.

Whose idea was it to colour the Scarlet Witch's costume green? That's one of the things that confused me when I was six years old and reading this comic. I can only guess now that since the covers were usually done before the story, Stan Goldberg must not have known the character's name. Stan G. did all of Marvel's coloring in this era as far as I know. A reader wrote in to ask that very same thing in a letter in X-Men #7:"By the way, if the Scarlet Witch is scarlet, how come she's always green on the cover?" (referring to the covers of #4 and #5). Stan Lee's/editorial's response: "Sometimes we change a costume's color on the cover to balance the design a bit." Fwiw Pietro's costume was colored a medium blue*** on these covers, instead of the green he wore in these X-Men stories themselves. ***(As we know later on he'd wear a much paler blue/"silvery" costume starting w/Avengers #75) |

And with Wanda and Mastermind both in green, Pietro has to change color too. Maybe he should have made Wanda blue so there'd be only one character in the wrong color? |

This is the one I thought of after the fact, and I think it goes without saying I would have voted for it had anyone else posted it:  |

I was sure we would see this cover.  I had it for a few hours, then changed to the other spidey one. |
