Like the rest of you I'm still in shock over MDG. Thank you Crimebuster for reposting your interview with him.
As we know MDG loved underground comix. He knew all about them and he was unfailingly generous in sharing his knowledge and love of them with us. Let's make him proud of us and post some great underground comix covers. (Can you believe we've not done this before? We did have an "underground" topic--but that was for scenes that took place underground!)

The 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 July 2014.
- Please include the title and the issue number of the comic (e.g., Millie the Model #86) in case some posters cannot see your image.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, July 16, 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.
Since I already posted Trina Robbins' It Aint Me Babe a few weeks ago, this time I'm going with this one: Femme Noire #1 (1989, from Cat-Head Comics)
I'm sure MDG was very familiar with this series and I'd like to think he would have relished this cover...as well as the covers you're all going to post.
