Since the bulk of my reading material in both prose books and comics over the past few weeks has largely consisted of Vulcans, Romulans, more Romulans and yet more Romulans, it occurred to me that it might be fun to focus on covers featuring characters with pointed ears. This naturally includes Vulcans and Romulans from Star Trek, but also Skrulls, elves, trolls, a certain Avenging Son and his kith and kin, and so forth. They have to be fictional characters or beings, though - please, NO ordinary animals like dogs/wolves, cats/other felines, squirrels, etc. Here's one to start us off and set the tone, from Star Trek Romulans: Schism #3 (IDW, 2009):
The fine print:
- Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.
- Cover must be from a published comic book, comic-related magazine, or collected volume published before September 2011.
- 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, September 21, 2021, beginning at 12:01 a.m. PST and ending at 11:59 a.m. 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.
Live long and prosper, everyone (and have fun)!

Namor 1 I tried to find a cover where his ears were fairly prominent.

I hate wide open contests like this, my mind is awash in a multitude of characters and covers. In other words, good contest Edo.

The first cover appearance of Namor, the Sub-Mariner - Marvel Mystery Comics #4, Feb 1940, cover by Alex Schomburg: The cover of Marvel Comics #1 featured the Human Torch; Marvel Mystery Comics #2 & 3 had the Angel on the cover. They guessed wrong about who the second star of the book was.

Dell Four Color #193 " NO ordinary animals like dogs/wolves, cats/other felines, squirrels, etc." That's no ordinary animal, IYAM.
