Inspired a bit by my current back issue reading, a simple challenge: post a cover of any comic released in the year 1988. The Cover Contest rules: - 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 (e.g., Showcase #4) in case some posters cannot see your image. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place on Tuesday, Jun 4 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. My choice: Thor #394 On sale Apr '88, cover dated Aug '88
Have fun!

There are a lot of blockbuster covers on uber-popular books from 1988, and I'm sure they'll be showing up in this thread, but I'm going to go off the beaten path here--
Aristocratic Xtraterrestrial Time-Traveling Thieves (aka "X-Thieves") #9, June 1988-- Fictoneer Books Ltd. (Comics Interview Publications)
Cover art by Mark Propst
David Anthony Kraft, Henry Vogel and Mark Propst really put their all into this title. One of the most lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek books of the late '80s, and this is my favorite cover from the run. If you need a break from constant dark super-hero deconstruction, this one is worth searching out.
