Thanks again everyone! All right, for this week let's try this topic: pipes, the kind that are used for smoking. Your cover should include a person or entity smoking a pipe, or holding a pipe, or even just the darn pipe by itself in non-smoking mode (on a desk, table, counter, or wherever). But it has to be a smoker's pipe. There should be at least one such pipe on the cover; it does not necessarily have to dominate the cover, but it shouldn't be teeny-tiny either. See my cover as a guide/example. How did I come up with this week's scintillating topic? Glad you--er, I--asked. My inspiration was this comic's cover (below). I figured, well, we've done topics such as snow, hats, winter scenes, etc., so what else could I mine from this awesome cover? The Cover Contest 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 February 2014. - As a courtesy, please include the title and the issue number of the comic in case some posters cannot see your image. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place next Tuesday, Feb. 13 2024, beginning at 12:01 am 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 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. I hope you all enjoy this topic--I know you'll find some great, unusual covers. My pipe example: Strange Adventures #79 by Gil Kane ! ![](https://i.imgur.com/6lw9rYO.jpeg)

What about hookas or other "smoking" pipes?
