Sorry for the delay. Was tied up all day (not in the fun way you dirty birds!) and just now getting online.

thanks for the win!   not expected, but I checked through the past contests and didn't see this theme - so since I won with Howard the Duck?    This week the challenge is to find covers featuring a talking animal of some sort.    (tho I guess Aliens are technically animals?  let's try to stick with existing real creatures?)

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 August 2011.
- Please include also the title of the comic and the issue number in case some posters cannot see your image.
(For example: Justice League of America 42, Feb 1966)
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, 24 August 2021, 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. Please 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 to the poster, who may then choose an alternate before voting begins.
