New contest for this week, and another topic that hasn't been used before, but should produce some varied results-- Submarines!

New orders downloaded from SATCOM detail your mission to post a classic comic cover depicting a submarine, either in whole or in part (full or partial external view, surfaced conning tower, Skipper at the periscope, etc.).

However, it must be a Submarine, NOT just a "Sub-Mariner"... unless the Sub-Mariner cover also depicts an actual submarine (hint: there are several of those).

Bathyspheres and bathyscaphs are also permissible.

I'm going to kick off the inspiration with a classic cover--

The rules for those new to the game:

- 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 April 6, 2012.

- 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, April 12, 2022, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59 am 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.
