Thanks to everyone for voting! Today is Veterans Day (formerly Armistice Day) in the US; Remembrance Day throughout much of the Commonwealth, as well as France and Belgium. The date, of course, was chosen because it was on November 11, 1918 that the “Great War” ended, on the Western Front at least. Many other nations honor their veterans and/or those who gave their lives on different dates. For this week’s contest, let’s choose covers that show military veterans of any war (in or out of uniform; in service or not), but not in scenes of combat. Rather let’s see them in moments when, however sad, however brief, the shooting has stopped, and they are, if only for that moment, at peace. For example: Our Army at War 197 The Cover Contest Constitution:
-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 1 November 2010. Please include also the title of the comic and the issue number in case some posters cannot see your image. -Covers must be posted before voting begins. -Voting takes place on Tuesday, 17 November 2020, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59am 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; don't post disparaging remarks about it. - If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out to the poster, who then can choose an alternate before voting begins.

Not An Entry! But the first thing I thought of was the Syd Shores drawing from the ACBA Sketchbook.

Interesting topic. I had a GREAT cover in mind, but then I realized the cover does not depict vets, but active soldiers. So it's back to the drawing board Many thanks to all the world's veterans, past and present.

yep. . the caveat stated was "as long as not actively fighting". . . bascially
but not in scenes of combat. Rather let’s see them in moments when, however sad, however brief, the shooting has stopped, and they are, if only for that moment, at peace.

So it's back to the drawing board Many thanks to all the world's veterans, past and present. But active soldiers are also veterans. Many of these covers picture active-duty military. I'm sure yours will be fine. EDIT: Sorry, the others beat me to it, but I hadn't read that far down. D'oh.
