For this week ... OUT FOR THE COUNT!Hazards of the job: if a character headlines a comic book, chances are someone will try--or succeed in sending the character to dreamland...or worse! I will start this painful trend with Gil Kane's cover for Tomb of Dracula #15, from December of 1973... Post your favorite comic cover that features someone with that dreaded glass jaw...or weak heart...or susceptibility to death rays, or....you get the point! The Rules:
- Post one (and only one) classic cover that fits the theme of the contest. - Covers must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before March 2008. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place on Tuesday, March 27th, 2018, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59pm PST. - Vote by posting the name in bold of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most. - The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period. - 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 (gcd) or Wikia; the images don't show up here or are too small. Good luck!

Iris is out and at the mercy of a strange monster...>>> Since my FLASH cover (despite being granted allowance by the contest initiator) wasn't in the intended spirit of the topic, it has been replaced with: A very Strange Monster has laid Challengers Ace and Rocky Out for the Count!

I know we should let the votes decide if a cover fits. But I am pretty sure this contest is about a title character being laid out. Not just anybody on the floor. Could tarkintino clarify?

Pretty much that--a title character laid out, but I can open that up to supporting characters (e.g., MW Gallaher's Flash cover with Iris).

I think this is the key phrase.

Going with this Wood DD classic. Because one of the few times the cover was honest and the hero lost. The climax and DD's heroic defeat.
