The Sickth Cover Contest of 2007 - Better howy?

[Lone Ranger]

Hi folks.

The whole Ranger family battled a terrible stomach bug the past few days, but at least the agony helped me think up this week's theme:

Under the Weather

It can be any cover featuring the sick or injured - so long as we know that someone is suffering as I did.

Here's my choice - this cover really caught my eye as a child. Poor old Ben!

Dammit, I have a great one. It's even one of my favorite Superman storeis (although, I haven't read it in a long time). I can't for the life of me think of the issues numbers though.

I can imagine morning sickness would be a part of this...among other things.

[Dizzy D]

Can't really think of anything. Oh well.

Unless I come up with something better before the week is over.

It's one of the main reasons I read them.

Going with an old classic!

[Ryan Day]

Is this cheating? I think there's enough sickness going on here. I mean... puke. Surely that's enough.

THE MAKING OF A NURSE! Honestly, if your boyfriend wants to dump you for saving the life of one black guy, for the loe of God dump the bastard before he takes you to torch rally or a goose stepping march.

Is the rest of the medical staff deaf? Otherwise, his hiding place won't be nearly as secret as it will be painful for the patient.

poor Hercules got his ass whooped, and only the worst married couple in comics can save him.

[Bat-Mite]

Neener neener.

Your link is broken. So :P. Bow down to my net-fu.

[Ryan Day]

Your link is broken. So :P.

Is it? Bugger. In that case, I yield, and I'll come up with something else.

You do know that's Scott Lang Antman, right?

How bad would you feel if your blood killed Superman?

[Mac Danny]

You do know that's Scott Lang Antman, right?

Well.. Not until right now.. But it doesn't make the cover any less cool does it?

Superman doesn't need a doctor, he needs Hollywood Tans!

[Ray R.]

Could one of you guys be a pal and tie me off?

I keep telling you, I'm not helping with the home vasectomy.

[Spackling Compound]

Kryptonian blood can be mixed with human blood?

Oh wait, I forgot, continuity nerds get Identity Crisis. Never mind!

[Grazzt]

Well.. Not until right now.. But it doesn't make the cover any less cool does it?

No, no it doesn't make the cover any less cool. Of course, I just finished reading "Under Siege" and loved it, so I may be biased.

[Mac Danny]

You are not biased. It's a great story. I only wish it went on longer than a couple issues.

They made Blackout cool! He has a lightning bolt on his head and they made him cool?

[Bat-Mite]

Is it? Bugger. In that case, I yield, and I'll come up with something else.

I don't mind. We can be cover buddies.

Whatever that means.

I wish I had used this for the torn clothing one, cause then I would have gotten extra mileage out of it.

That's a pretty weak thread title, Scott.

The Flash suffered a lot over his cover career, but this one always made me cringe in sympathetic pain.

Byrne and Claremont when they were cool.

I defy anyone to suggest that Asterix is not "under the weather" here....

Apparently the Canadian creativity gene skipped lil Scotty.

Well, I have been under the weather, so my brain was drained. Also, I didn't know we were doing this clever titles thing with the contests.

Earlier this morning, I asked Cronin to update to thread title via PM.

It's a bad pun - be careful what you wish for.

There you go - I've got 'weather' covered on 2 fronts ;)

[Slam_Bradley]

There were a lot of ill people on EC covers.

[thehod]

*rimshot*...

Was that a comment on my choice, or a form of proposal?

Cos if its the latter, I, of course, accept.

A little from column A, a little from column B.

[Lone Ranger]

See, I told you - be careful what you wish for.

[thomas_catbiscuit]

its tuesday so i'm going for spackling compound and the preggers quasar

[Mike Smash!]

Count my vote for Slam Bradley.

[dingo]

I vote for thehod and his under the weather Asterix.

I'm re-reading those at the moment. They are good comics.

[Mac Danny]

My vote this week goes to Bat-Mite and the Night Nurse cover. Her boyfriend is a DICK!

[Spackling Compound]

Mac Danny gets my vote. With all the title captioning and exclamation points, I still find no reason at all to be curious about what's inside that comic. And Hercules in a hospital? Does Olympus have a Blue Cross agent? And why does he look like Nick Nolte?
Good find, MD!

[Ryan Day]

Bat-Mite. Because that's the cover I meant to enter.

[Slam_Bradley]

Ray Rivard for a classic drug cover.

[Sgt. Preston]

Bat-Mite with his Night Nurse cover.

[Bill Angus]

I've got to go with MWGallagher. I just find something fascinating about that Kubert Flash cover.

[Ray R.]

If liking Night Nurse is a sickness, then I don't want to get better.

Bat-mite

[Grazzt]

Another vote for Spackling Compound and m-preg.

[Chris Nowlin]

GloryQuest

Scion deserves the love

[Dizzy D]

And add another vote to Bat-Mite.

[MWGallaher]

Bat-Mite, but just barely. Night Nurse & Psychoanalysis are two of my favorite short runs ever.

[Donald M.]

Another vote here for Bat-Mite.

THE MAKING OF A NURSE! Honestly, if your boyfriend wants to dump you for saving the life of one black guy, for the loe of God dump the bastard before he takes you to torch rally or a goose stepping march.That's my vote. Who can compete with "THROBBING EXCITEMENT"?

[Mac Danny]

Results day and I think the clear winner here is Bat Mite with the Night Nurse cover!

Great job Bat Mite! Give us another contest!

[Bat-Mite]

Yay!
