Thank you for the win, folks. Although the topic of trains has been done, the wider area of public transport has not, nor have individual forms (e.g. buses) been done. So, let’s see covers featuring any of the following: buses, coaches, trains, trams, monorail, taxis and any other form of transport that is for public use, historical or modern. 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 August 2014. - Please include the title and the issue number of the comic in case some posters cannot see your image. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place on Tuesday, August 27, 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. - This post will self-destruct in five seconds. Action Comics #650

Teen-Age Temptations #2 (1953, St. Johns, Matt Baker) If only my suspension of disbelief were as high for romance comics as it is for superhero comics.

Valerian: The New Future Trilogy, iBooks, 2005May not be totally obvious; but, that is a floating taxi. That image led to a change in the script of The Fifth Element, changing the hero from a factory worker into a taxi driver, after Luc Besson saw the album. Jean-Claude Mezieres was a conceptual designer, but Besson put the project on hold, while he went to Hollywood to do Leon: The Professional. Mezieres and Pierre Christin did a new Valerian album, featuring a cb driver, who aids Valerian and Laureline. Besson loved the image and revamped the script to make that change and the rest is history. The other conceptual designer was Moebius. That is why the film has those amazing settings and rich grouping of alien races and concepts, mixing Moebius' work with inspirations from Mezieres' Valerian work. Byron Preiss published this collection of three albums, around the time of the film. It was the first American publication of Valerian, since the 3 volumes that Dargaud USA put out, in the late 80s (Ambassador of Shadows, Welcome to Alflolol, Heroes of the Equinox).
