Thanks for the votes in last week's contest, hopefully this week will produce some equally interesting covers!
I can't believe we haven't had a contest for this guy, but I checked the topic list and confirmed it with Farrar , and it's true--
For this week's contest, post a cover featuring the art of Bill Everett. Bill was a near-legendary cover artist from the Golden Age through the Atomic Age, and even did some Silver and Bronze Age work for Marvel.
The usual 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 September 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, September 10, 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.
-Have fun!
