When pondering a topic for this week's contest, it occurred to me that Charlton never gets much love, so this week it's all Charlton all the time, folks. However, it wouldn't be one of my contests without some kind of focus on an ancillary cover feature. So my only stipulation is that the cover you choose MUST have the distinctive, so-called 'bullseye' logo on it:
Any variation of the bullseye logo is acceptable, like, e.g., the ones that have a price in the "arrowhead" instead of the word 'group':
That means you're limited to Charlton covers from about 1973 onward - which encompasses the period when I occasionally picked Charlton books off of the spinner racks. And don't worry, even with that minor restriction, there's so many (so, so many) wonderful covers to choose from. It's an embarrassment of riches in fact...
Rules:
Post one classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before March 2010.
Covers must be posted before voting begins.
Voting takes place on Tuesday, March 24th, beginning at 12:01 am PST and ending at 11:59 pm PST.
Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or whose cover you simply like the best.
Put your choice's 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 a 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 that out so that the poster can choose an alternate before voting begins.
Two posters may not use the same cover.
I'll start us off with one that tugs at my nostalgia strings (from the appropriately named anthology series Charlton Bullseye):
