| The rules: You vote three check marks for your FIRST favorite Two check marks for the SECOND favorite One check mark for the THIRD favorite. You do not need to vote for three covers, but it is strongly encouraged!!! Let's have fun with this!!! A new theme will be chosen each week, so participants must find a comic book that fits the theme - One entry per person. - Must be real comic books in circulation. - Magazine size books are also okay. - The book does not have to be in your collection. - Variants are acceptable. - The previous winner is allowed to win in this contest. Each week we will vote on who had the best cover. - Friday begins the new contest. - Wednesday at 12 noon EST is the cutoff which starts voting that will go through Thursday at 11:59 PM EST. - Please vote through the built-in "three check marks" system. - Don't vote early. - The winner will be the cover with the most check marks. - Vote three check marks for a favorite, two for the second favorite and one for the third favorite. The winner will choose the next theme and begin a new thread. In the event of a tie, the deciding factor will be if the entry was of a book in a CBCS slab (only one book in the set needs to be graded; if multiple are CBCS graded then the highest grade applies). If both books are in a CBCS slab (or neither are) then the cover with the most three star votes wins. If they are still tied, then the one with the most 2 star votes wins. If the tie remains, then a sudden death contest will decide the winner. All tied contestants are to enter a new cover based upon the theme of that contest. At 9 pm EST, Friday, the cover with the most votes wins. Re-post these rules in your new thread to keep them easy to find and for new folks who want to play. The list of previous contests and winners can be found in a pinned thread on the top of the forum. **Please No Early Voting** This week, I'd like to recognize the many members of the media who have graced comic covers over the years. This week's contest is for covers that feature reporters, photographers, editors and so forth doing their jobs, reporting on or investigating the news. The cover MUST show the character involved in at least some way in his or her profession. For example, there are 163 issues of Jimmy Olsen, but most can't be used - all the issues showing Jimmy getting super-powers, becoming a monster, marrying an animal or simply suffering under Superman's constant emotional abuse don't count. Covers with him taking photos do. There will of course be some gray area in this - use your best judgement. Let's see all the covers fit to print! |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| @brysb You know, I thought about that exact book when I came up with the contest. I say why not? @esaravo I give that a faint Bizarro no (meaning an absolute yes). |

| 99.9% certain this would be the first African-American female as the title character in a comic book. A one-shot comic published 1972 based on the comic strip. A blaxploitation film was made in 1975. An average film as the genre goes with an absolutely amazing cast. Pam Grier in the title role, Eartha Kitt, Carl Weathers, Jim Backus -- the list goes on and on.  |
