Eligible covers must prominently feature a newspaper or newspapers, or be presented in the style of a newspaper page.
The traditional rules apply:


The cover has to be on the topic chosen by the previous winner, who is the sole judge of what is allowed.

You can only post one cover.

Entries must be actual comic covers.

You just vote for your favorite cover.

This'll make the front page for sure!

I'm in with the very first Wonder Woman comic I'd ever bought.

[Slam_Bradley]

A comic all about newspapers.

I have a soft spot for the NewsBoy Legion, stars of Star Spangled Comics, and broadsheet printers extraordinaire. Weather: "Just right for ACTION."

yes, "photo" by Scrapper.

[Paul McEnery]

I see your Newsboy Legion, and I raise you:

Which should automatically win just because, but also because EVERY SINGLE ISSUE acted like it was a newspaper genuinely reporting what was happening.

And now it IS Century 21!

Gee, I dunno Supes, maybe because she knows that if she jumps off something tall you'll be there to catch her?

Superman isn't too bright, is he?

That's a good cover, with some cleverly written articles, that's marred by a horrible headline. "Smack you up"? That's just bad for different reasons.

Technically, I could've picked any issue of Transmetropolitan because the title of the book is a ripped front page of a newspaper. I went with this one though.

Nice bit of meta work there.

[DubipR]

Batman and Bolland....in Russian none the less!

I'm betting the photographer did it just so he could get the picture.

The killer is Jimmy Olsen!!!

I was looking for that but didn't see it as a cover. Isn't that a splash page?

Ok..the dogmatic nerds sit over..here? That's where I go? Right? Going..going...

Ahh..yep.
Sorry (the Chapter on the side was misleading). Sitting with the geeks now. Throw food as you will.

Psst. You were right. The splash has Chapter VIII down the side. The cover has Watchmen on it...

Second Ock-Newspaper related cover. Interesting!

[StoneGold]

A Kirby Classic.

[Spackling Compound]

jessecuster3 has my vote.

[Lone Ranger]

thehod has my vote

[thehod]

GloryQuest

[Paradox]

Spackling Compound.

Howard for PRESIDENT!!!

[Mac Danny]

This week I go with Chris Nowlin. I love that the cover shows Doc Ock enjoys a morning cup of Folgers. Somehow it makes him more human of a villain.

I imagine he also enjoys the Family Circus. Most of his plans come from Billy's adventures.

Honorable mention to paradox for the whiniest Superman you ever did see.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Chris Nowlan's Spidey. Why didn't I think of that one?

DubipR's Bolland-Bat gets an honorable mention.

[jessecuster3]

Lance gets my vote.

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

Spackling Compound. Trapped in a world he never made....

[Slam_Bradley]

This is easly one of the toughest in quite a while.

MW comes right out of the box with a Batman cover from my era.

Couple of great Spidey covers. Joe Kubert. EC.

But...I have to go with Spackling Compound. I love Howard for Prez.

[Justin Davis]

Chris Nowlin

[Schornforce]

I vote for Paradox's whiny widdle baby cries-a-lot Superman.

[DonC]

I liked Paul McEnery's cover. But I don't think I'm spelling his name right.

[Dizzy D]

Chris Nowlin: the cup of coffee is what makes it work.

[Donald M.]

Yeah, Chris Nowlin.

[gary bolt]

I vote for Chris Nowlin too.

[morna]

yup me too. That cover caused a big smile.

Chris Nowlin

[MWGallaher]

Paul McEnery gets my vote this week, with a cover new to my eyes, tinged with nostalgia and charm.

[Rattlehead]

I vote for Paradox. You can't beat super-crybaby.

[Chris Nowlin]

Dr. Huggsnstuff, for the other Doc Ock cover.

[DubipR]

I'm voting for Slam's cover...very cool

[Athena Bast]

Beast of Yucca Flats

[GloryQuest]

Forefinger

[Lance]

Paradox gets my vote.

[benday-dot]

I'm so tempted by Stonegold's Cap cover, but the whole Howard for President period of comics was a very exciting and memorable one for me.

I vote for Spackling Compound.

[MWGallaher]

I declare Chris Nowlin the winner with seven votes! Fun selections, everyone!
