This week's theme is:
Ancient Rome
Post a cover set in Ancient Rome or the Roman Empire, or which invokes it in some way. Anything Roman is fair game: gladiators, chariot races, legionaries, centurions, senators, emperors, orgies... (okay, maybe not that last one).
For inspiration, see my own entry below:
Valor #2 (EC, 1955, Al Williamson)
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., Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #142) in case some posters cannot see your image. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place on Tuesday, August 6, 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.

Classics Illustrated, The Last Days of Pompeii. Cover by H. C. Kiefer Notable because Jack Kirby provided the interior art, inked by Dick Ayers. Done in a clean, linear style that was indicative of Roman art.

Tullus and the Ransom GoldTullus was a comic feature published by the David C Cook Publishing Comic, for their Sunday school paper Sunday Pix, distributed to churches. It features the adventures of a Roman Christian, in the First Century AD. It was about the only thing to hold my interest, in Sunday school and church.
