So I just discovered by astute observation of the 50s cover contest, that in 1954 you could breathe in outer space without a helmet on   Then in 1955 someone or something sucked all the air out and you had to wear a helmet All tounge and cheek of course   |

@Gotlift - Here’s a helmet from 1953. I almost used this cover for the contest, but then decided to go for something completely different from what was being posted at the time. |

| If this weeks cover contest has taught me something, it's Saturn (or ringed planets) represent science fiction/space/future. | ||

I never really thought about it until relatively recently...but I always just took for granted that Star Wars took place in the future because of the technology etc. But it seems that Star Wars is a period piece..... |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC @GAC - I instantly thought of this when I saw @DrWatson Star Wars #1 entry into the fray. I thought about entering my Star Trek #1 but thought that would be too obvious from me and ultimately decided to go with Valiants Magnus #1 instead as I was inspired by someone else Gold Key entry.  |

| I kind of wanted to buck the rules and let people post more than one cover since there's a contender on just about every page of the thread. Maybe after everyone has had a few days to pick a cover...if the group here decided to allow a second and third submission, I would be up for that. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| I don't think @Martymann participates in the WCC but I think he should know this weeks contest is in his honour. I think he'd get a kick out of that. Can we edit the WCC thread title to include Marty Mann's name in there so he see's it? |
