The trope of super-heroes being modern mythology is a pretty common one, but let's feature some covers that showcase ancient, medieval or other pre-2oth century mythological stories or characters. Let's exclude Marvel's Thor and Hercules and such here so we stay away from the "modern myth" trope.
My entry/example: Roland Days of Wrath #2 the Xeric Award winner series from 2001 featuring the debut work of Fabian Moon and Gabriel Ba in comics and adapts the Song of Roland.
As always, the rules:
-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 2013.
- 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 25, 2023, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59pm 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.
- HAVE FUN! that's what this is all about.
