Cover Contest August 18 - August 24

[Sagafan]

Woo! winning feels good. Okay right down to it. This weeks theme is going to be Hunting. No rhyme or reason for this theme, it's just something I feel like seeing.

As written last week, Enter one cover only somehow reflecting this theme and make it from an actual comic book, magazine, graphic novel, digest etc. Keep those suggestions beyond the one you post to yourself. Have fun!

[Sagafan]

I'll start it off with this.

Can't get much more badass than tank hunting.

A school shooting turned Arowette into a grim hunter in this one:

One I didn't need to think about for a change and for a change, this one was actually translated to english. But I like this cover better than the english version, which just has the party on it.

Is that a young Dick Cheney on the cover?

Well, 'Dox took my first thought. So Plan B:

[DubipR]

Don, Don, Don....

Of all the books that fits this theme, I'd figured you would go with the obvious.

[Donald M.]

Seriously, it's not like he can say this week that there's no Star Wars cover that fits the theme.

I'm frankly shocked!

Tiger or gator, with rifle or knife Jungle Jim could... drive 'em to to extinction...

I kinda shocked myself. But I just read Green Arrow Year One and I really liked that cover.

Since when did shooting Ling Ling make someone a hero?

[The Confessor]

Well, since DonC isn't going to post one of the many Star Wars covers that fit this week's theme, I'm in with one of my favourite issues from the Marvel run, Star Wars #16...

[Drusilla lives!]

Is that Reed Richards? I always wondered what happened to him on some of those trips into the Negative Zone. :smile:

[Drusilla lives!]

Double post... time for yet another new forums server.

[Mac Danny]

Wait. The Punisher is riding a camel in Australia? Were they out of Dingos?

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a175/ripplepig/COMICS%20COVERS/26688.jpg

I would prefer him riding a dinosaur.

Not enough Fred Guardineer covers in these contests!

[MWGallaher]

Since when did shooting Ling Ling make someone a hero?

Well, the cover promises the "adventure of a ferocious giant panda," so maybe Ling Ling's the hero of the story? Cleansing the Chinese wilderness of invading white panda poachers?

[The Confessor]

Is that Reed Richards? I always wondered what happened to him on some of those trips into the Negative Zone. :smile:


Similar hairstyle, I'll grant you. But it's Valance (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beilert_Valance) the droid hunter, who has a terrrible secret. He's half droid himself!

[the4thpip]

This would have been a tough week, if it hadn't been for Lone Ranger and his man-eating panda.

[Paradox]

Looking them all over, I have to concur. It's difficult to beat a ferocious giant panda (although an elephant with a mouth full of blood came very close, MWGallaher!).

Lone Ranger.

[worstblogever]

Ray R. beat me out by moments on his with the Fudd... so yeah, that's what I woulda picked. So I will.

[Schornforce]

I also go Ray R. Elmer Fudd was the first thing that came to mind...

[The Confessor]

worstblogever gets my vote this week.

[Sagafan]

I'll vote for Greg Hatcher. That's a great looking book, even if it's one I would never read.

Nods to Lone Ranger, Ben Charles and MWGallaher as well. Great entries this week.

[GloryQuest]

I'm going with Puma this week.

[DubipR]

Throwing my vote to Benday-Dot. That Jungle Jim cover is great.

[Puma]

Lone Ranger

with a nod to Ray R

[Mac Danny]

Gloryquest with the great Ka-Zar cover

[jessecuster3]

Donald M. Kraven was the first Spider-man story I ever read.

[Ben Charles]

Going with Drusilla Lives this week, but it was a tough choice between many great covers.

Kudos to all who participated.

Admit it, it would be better if the Camel was a Dinosaur.

[i_mmmchocolate]

Admit it, it would be better if the Camel was a Dinosaur.
Heh, heh. The cover plus your commentary won my vote.

[Dizzy D]

Paradox for Jon Sable goodness (alright, so jessecuster3 also had Jon Sable goodness, Paradox had Jon Sable betterness then).

[ChadH]

Drusilla Lives!

[Ray R.]

Ben Charles. Because that's the cover I would have gone with, if Elmer Fudd hadn't come to mind. Lots of great ones this week, though.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Greg Hatcher.

Runners-up: Worstblogever (man, it's almost like Kraven & the dude from Raising Arizona had a child), Mattbib, Ben Charles, & DonC.

[Aaron Kashtan]

Lone Ranger

[DonC]

I'm voting for Ray R. this week. Or would that be Way Warrgh?

[Jeremi]

Ray R. gets my vote.

[MWGallaher]

Ben Charles gets my vote.

[Donald M.]

Paradox

Jon Sable, Freelance was one of my favorite books as a kid going to the comic book store for the first time and learning there was more to 'em than just superheroes and funny animals.

[benday-dot]

DubipR for me, because the world never see a comic book cover again featuring hippo hunting pygmies.

It was difficult not to vote for Chad's Kubert cover.

[the4thpip]

I think we have a tie.

[Puma]

The votes are tallied:

with one each: worstblogever, Puma, benday-dot, GloryQuest, Donald M, MacDanny, DubipR

with two: Drusillalives!, Paradox, MacDanny

and with four: Lone Ranger, Ray R

so the next vote for either Lone Ranger or Ray by someone who has not already voted decides it.

[Pól Rua]

I expect I'm not going to be much help.
Paradox won it for mine, with Dizzy D a hair's breadth behind.

[Puma]

Bad Pol! bad munkee! no nanner for you.

[Greg Hatcher]

Well, for once my forgetting to vote worked out. I'm going to say Ray.

[Puma]

Thanks Greg.

And our winner is Ray R

[Ray R.]

Many thanks to one and all, I'll have a new contest up shortly.

[Dizzy D]

The votes are tallied:

with one each: worstblogever, Puma, benday-dot, GloryQuest, Donald M, MacDanny, DubipR

with two: Drusillalives!, Paradox, MacDanny

and with four: Lone Ranger, Ray R

so the next vote for either Lone Ranger or Ray by someone who has not already voted decides it.



MacDanny has both 1 and 2 votes. (It would have been funny if you had made the error with Paradox instead).

[Puma]

I blame the lack of coffee and use of painkillers for my poor tallying!
