Going with a Moebius classic (I guess not that surprising for people who know me).

This one also would've worked for the Christmas Cover Contest a few weeks back. Wish I'd thought of it, I do love this cover.

Here's one of the oldest comic books ever produced. Also, that makes it one of the oldest Western covers ever as well...

For shame. That was a great series, but no Jonah Hex? The Showcase volume is a thick stack o' fine readin'.

It's on my "buy" list.

That's awesome.

Nazis and cowboys in space. That's a ten year old's dream scenario.

[Athena Bast]

One of two I was thinking of

I just knew you'd go for that one.

As for me, there can be only one.

Yesh *sheepish*

[benday-dot]

This Joe Maneely classic I always thought manages to get through the rawhide of the genre.

Darn you, Nowlin!

**goes off to look for another cover**

[Chris Nowlin]

Woo hoo!

I've upset 'Dox.

Now it was worth getting out of bed today

I am not sure if use of the word 'throbbing' was verboten under the CCA, but it should have been.

It was a bitch to find this one. If you are a fan of Westerns at all (especially the Clint Eastwood ones) buy this backissue.

[DonC]

I was hoping to find a "showdown" type of Star Wars comic, but I couldn't. So I went with, well... Plan D or E - a dude in a cowboy hat.

[GloryQuest]

I vote for Athena Bast...'cause she beat me to it! ;P

[a. non]

a vote for Michael P

[Paradox]

Nazis vs. cowboys in space?

I have no choice but to vote for Puma.

[Lone Ranger]

Gotta go with Slam for that great Toby Press gem.

[Puma]

Matt Algren, that cover just works.

[Slam_Bradley]

Schornforce for my first thought.

[Forefinger]

Lance. I like that Preacher cover.

[Matt Algren]

GloryQuest

[Dizzy D]

benday-dot but I did consider that Lucky Luke cover as well for a while. Honorable mention for Gingold.

[Ray R.]

Puma. As I said previously, you just can't beat cowboys fighting Nazis in space. That's the comic book perfect storm.

Great covers across the board though. So much Westerny goodness.

[Mac Danny]

My vote this week is for GLORYQUEST. That cover works so week as an art piece. I love it.

[Schornforce]

a. non gets my vote by a lucky horseshoe.

[DonC]

Athena Bast. Damn was that a good storyline.

[Rattlehead]

Puma nazis, and cowboys, and space, oh my.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Lance.

(though Jessecuster3 comes close)

[morna]

Puma

I usually go with a more aesthetically pleasing cover but those guys crack me up. Love the cauliflower ears and lipstick combo!

[darkhanamaru]

GloryQuest.

[Athena Bast]

jessecuster3

[Chris Nowlin]

Since Puma's getting enough votes, I'll vote for Typo Lad, because I love that series.




I'm sad nobody went with Blaze of Glory. I like that series too.

[DubipR]

I'm sad nobody went with Blaze of Glory. I like that series too.

I love that series as well, along with Apache Skies. Good stuff

My vote goes for Puma, as I looking for another Spurs cover to compete with but that one beat my idea.

[Paul McEnery]

Nazis vs. cowboys in space?

I have no choice but to vote for Puma.

Your mind is my mind.

[Gingold]

Puma's cover is too awesome to vote for anything else.

[Lance]

I vote for Puma.

Honorable mentions to Forefinger and morna.

[gary bolt]

I vote for Puma.

[benday-dot]

Puma...

with honorable mention to the throbbing love of the Ranger

[Forefinger]
