We've already done contests featuring women fighting, women with guns, warrior women and superhero women, but - after checking and double-checking the cover contest topics thread - it doesn't seem like we've ever done this one. To wit, this week you need to find covers that feature only women or girls - so no men or boys can appear anywhere on them, not even in the background (i.e., if there's a mixed crowd or something, not eligible, even if the men are indistinct), nor even any pictures of men/boys (so no covers that show, e.g., a man on a wanted or movie poster, or, say, Betty and Veronica with a photo of Archie somewhere on it). The only exception I'll allow is if there are male characters featured in a corner box, which mainly applies to Marvel's various titles. Also, the plural here is vital: the cover has to feature two or more women and/or girls.
It may seem a bit hard at first, but trust me, there's plenty to choose from once you start looking.
The Cover Contest rules (so the Man doesn't get his undies in even more of a twist):
- Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.
- The cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before May 2014.
- Please include the title and the issue number of the comic in bold (e.g., Vampirella #26) in case some posters cannot see your image.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, May 21, 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.
