Thanks for the votes, it's been a while . This week choose a Silly cover. It could be humorous, nonsensical, parody, or something that just doesn't make sense. But don't use a cover from a humor magazine, No Mad, Not brand Ecch, Archie etc. Pick a cover that is unintentionally silly. It's okay to choose a Silver Age Dc cover because they weren't trying to be funny, they were just trying to get you to buy the book. Good luck! This is my pick, I don't know how they ended up chained together in this manner. • Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest. • Your cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before April 2014. • Please include the title and the issue number of the comic, preferably in bold, in case some posters cannot see your image. • Covers must be posted before voting begins. • Voting takes place on Tuesday, April 23, 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 gets to choose the theme for the next week's contest. • If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't post disparaging remarks about it. Just don't vote for 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

Superman #175 (1965) No way can Lex get changed in time, nor will he look like Clark simply by wearing Kent’s clothes. But it looks fun!

(...) This is my pick, I don't know how they ended up chained together in this manner. It's explained in the story, which is actually pretty good, almost like a little horror short from one of the b&w magazines (the first dozen plus issues of the original Spiderwoman series were not bad).

Infantino was known for great covers. I might actually track this down.

The Spidermobile, a toy concept so silly that the character in the book knew it was dumb.
Despite the cover blurb, it's was exactly what we thought.

Spidey Super-Stories #31 (February, 1978). Cover by Sal Buscema. Not even a clever parody. Its just silly.
