Cover Contest: August 27

[Ryan Day]

This week, we're going to get a little gruesome:

UNECCESSARY SURGERY

Let's see some amputations, beheadings, disembowellings, and general mutilations. Preferably done with a blade or tool of some sort.

I'm gonna go with family-friendly medical mutilation!

I figure a random Jim Balent cover should get the idea across...

Was tempted to go right back to my last entry. Instead...early Norm Breyfogle.

This comic was the beginning of the end for me, collecting wise. I bought this issue the week after it came out and I've never stopped since then.

Also, as a Star Wars RPG fan, I feel really sorry for the poor victim of Vader. She was an example of the Jedi player class.

[MWGallaher]

I feel a little guilty about inflicting this on what will probably be several people who've never seen an Eerie Publications cover, but...

Nothing says "unnecessary surgery" like Marvel's "The Headmen", and in particular, Ruby Thursday. I mean, you took a hot chick and replaced her head with a giant red sphere... WTF?

She would never say where she came from. Yesterday don't matter if it's gone.

[The Confessor]

Hmmmm...another really tough theme this week. I couldn't really find anything in my collection that screams "unnecessary surgery" but I did find Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #3, which definitely involves some surgery...

[benday-dot]

This whole operation seems a tad unnecessary...

You can always count on EC for these sorts of themes...

[mattbib]

[benday-dot]

I'll give it to Beast of Yucca Flats and chainsaw surgery... honorable mention to MW Gallaher.

[The Confessor]

Honerable mention to benday-dot but this week I'm voting for...

Jeremi

[Chris N]

Vote for thehod

[DubipR]

Gotta go with the Beast of Yucca Flats
I love that cover....

[thehod]

Stonegold. Because I'm a perv.

[Lance]

thehod gets my vote.

[Puma]

And the results are:
with one vote each: Chris Nowlin, worstblogever, Jeremi, Stonegold
with two votes: Schornforce, Beast of Yucca Flats, thehod
with three votes: Lance and Benday-dot

so we have a tie. I forgot to vote yesterday so I'll vote now

although Benday-dot's creeped me out I liked the layout of Lance's selection.

So Lance, get to it.

[Mac Danny]

LANCE.... Your turn..

[Chris N]

Thursday seems to be drawing to a close. Any word from this Lance feller?

[Lance]

Damn it, my first win and I'm late.

I'll have one up in a couple of minutes.

[Chris N]

I'd like to think I helped Lance by bumping this thread.

Will proceed to drink whisky to congratulate myself on being useful.
