Thank you again for the votes, everyone. This theme occurred to me as I was watching some news coverage on a recent hot political topic in the US, and I was surprised that it actually hadn't been done before for this contest. So this week, we're going to be looking for covers featuring a judge - a bona fide, traditional judge with the robe, etc. or a stand-in for a judge if it's in a courtroom or similar setting. I made that caveat because, please, *NO Judge Dredd*. To start off, here's an example of what I have in mind:

The 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 Oct. 2010.
• Covers must be posted before voting begins.
• Voting takes place on Tuesday, Oct. 20 beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59 pm PST.
• Vote by posting the name of the poster whose entry best fits the theme or that you simply like the most.
• Put your choice's name in bold!
• The winner of the contest is the entry 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, or not from a published comic book or collected edition, kindly point it out so that the poster can choose an alternate before voting begins.

* By the way, it may not be a rule, but I would suggest that everyone also cite the series and issue number together with their cover image, as I did above - just in case the image isn't visible to everyone.

Otherwise, have fun!
