2019 marks the 50th anniversary of momentous events such as the Miracle Mets of 1969; Woodstock; and oh yeah, the first (earth-)man on the moon. My initial thought was to have a contest featuring comics from 1969, but what the heck, let's enlarge the playing field! So this week's theme is:
Post your favorite comic book cover from a year ending in 9. To make it easier let's use cover dates.
In other words, eligible comics are those that are cover-dated from one of these years: 1939, 1949, 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999, and 2009 (first quarter of 2009).
The Rules:
- 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 April 2009.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, April 23rd beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59pm 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 of your choice 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.
And to kick things off, here's a classic cover I love by Jerry Grandenetti, with a Sep. 1959 cover date:
Have fun everyone! Looking forward to seeing lots of interesting covers.
