Cover Contest: Ends April 8

[Justin Davis]

Yikes! I didn't know I won until just now.

Okay, this week's theme is

Odd Pairings.

It can be odd team-ups, unusual artists on a book, or whatever other way you want to interpret it.

Rules:

1. It must be from a published comic book. Trades and graphic novel covers are allowed.

2. One choice per participant.

Who are the Avengers going to be facing this month? Ultron? The Masters of Evil? No, the horror that is David Letterman....

(it was either this one or Aunt May: Herald of Galactus, and I've already done that one)

I think that issue holds the record for the longest time an item has been in my collection without me looking at it, at least 15 years.

I can't even remember whether it sucked or not.

[Sir Tim Drake]

I know that everyone in the entire civilized world is familiar with this cover, but I can't think of anything better:

[Ray R.]

Why does the deep dark recesses of my mind think that this comic ends with a date rape.

Of Archie.

I see nothing to eat and my eyes are hungry.





Wow, that sounded creepy as hell. I'll have to remember that.

[Justin Davis]

Ok, it's there now. Odd.

[Jeremi]

I'll give you this little gem.

[benday-dot]

C'mon... everyone knows these two would never "team-up"

SMDFF!

I'm still in with Lobo, bastich.

http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/26157/400/26157_4_001.jpg

In my LCS I remember seeing some book where Lobo is teamed up with Supergirl. I'm too lazy to find out which comic that was, so here is Lobo and Batman.

[mgs]

Why does the deep dark recesses of my mind think that this comic ends with a date rape.

Of Archie.
</p>
this one kills me to no end. though, I guess it sadly fits in reality nowadays with all the school shootings.

[The Confessor]

From depths of my longboxes, it's The Thing & The Human Torch teaming-up with...

...The Beatles?!!

From Strange Tales #130

I know this isn't really allowed but I just couldn't resist posting a few examples of the 'Fab' and 'Gear' goings on inside this comic...

Let's just forget that we ever saw these interior scans for the purposes of this Cover Competition, shall we?. :wink:

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Time to start voting?

I think I'll go with Jessecuster3.

[Lone Ranger]

benday-dot for me - that made me laugh.

[Puma]

Ray R.






.

[Agent Helix]

Ray R. on account of how much I love that terrible book.

Though I have to give credit to Lone Ranger as a very, very close runner-up.

[thehod]

Oh Ray, by a country mile.

[jessecuster3]

Ray R. for me, too.

[Mac Danny]

My vote is for Beast Of Yucca Flats

[Slam_Bradley]

DubipR .

[DonC]

Ryan Day. 'Cause Pat Boone is cool.

[Paradox]

DubipR. OK, Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis I VAGUELY got, but Rickles? RICKLES?????

[Schornforce]

I vote DubipR. Frightening cover.

Nods to Ray R. tho' as Archie/Punisher was the first one I remembered too.

[hamboy]

jessecuster3
I mean, c'mon. It's Lobo and the Mask!

[Ray R.]

DubipR.

I love Rickles. Great documentary on him on one of the pay movie channels.

[DubipR]

Benday-Dot...very clever!

[Jeremi]

I'll go with Ray R.

[Chris Nowlin]

Ray R stole my first thought. And thus I hate him.

[gary bolt]

I vote Ray R.

[benday-dot]

Now this contest ably demonstrates that anything can and does happen in the world of comics. It's all one big ball of weirdness. Punisher can hang with the gang at Riverdale, and Kubert's old weary blood and guts Sgt. Rock can kick into gear with... The Viking Prince?!

I vote Lone Ranger. I have that OAAW comic so I guess I'm biased, but believe me folks its an oddball!

[Ben Morgan]

A vote for Ray R.

[GloryQuest]

Yet another vote for Ray R.

[Puma]

and the final tally is:

Jessecuster3 2
benday-dot 2
Ray R. 9
Beast of Yucca Flats 1
DubipR 4
Ryan Day 1
Lone Ranger 1


Congrats to Ray R. for a rousing win.
