Let's belabor the obvious... -M *checks watch* Hmm. That took longer than I expected. |

This is going to be a tough contest. Too many great covers!

I've always wondered if Kirby was intentionally making a joke by flipping the cliche--with rats boarding a rising ship. {By the way,}I can't participate this time around. I've only got three entries left on my secret personal classic comics cover contest challenge, and while one of the available covers has a hot air balloon, none has a blimp.

Too bad, not just because you always post a good cover, but becauseI’m dying to know your secret criteria! |

(I wanted to go with The Gospel Blimp, but it turns out that's a novel and one of the editions has a comic book looking cover.) There is an actual Gospel Blimp comic book, it was published by Spire in the 70’s. I have a copy. Yeah--I almost went w/ that cover. |

You hate Superman, you hate Led Zeppelin, etc. What's next, telling me you hate KISS and Deep Purple?  |

If a balloon is used for military purposes it could fit in here, like for observation or the barrage balloon. Or someone could start a festive/colorful hot air balloon contest later. (I might even start looking to see if there were 'Nic Et Pic' comics now)
If Led Zeppelin can be a gateway to people discovering amazing artists like Davey Graham, Randy California and Howling Wolf they aren't all bad (and anyway, I do like Robert Plant with Alison Krauss).

I knew that as my roster got smaller, the odds that one of the available covers would fit the week's topic would shrink, too. For my final three entries, one provides 8 possible covers, one has 24, and the other has 30. I've already expanded the roster several times by broadening my initial criteria, and I could still add another three or four, but I'm trying to resist the temptation. |
