Helric1 private msg quote post Address this user | |
A theme will be chosen each week, so participants must find a comic book cover that fits the theme. - One entry (one book) per person. - Must be a real comic book in circulation. - Magazine size books are also okay. - The book does not have to be in your collection. - Variants 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 "Thumbs Up" system. - One vote per person. - Don't vote early. The winner will choose the next theme and begin a new thread. - In the event of a tie, the deciding factor will be if your photo was of a book in a CBCS slab. If both books are not in a CBCS slab then there will be a sudden death tie breaker overtime submission by both contestants. - Repost these rules in your new thread to keep them easy to find and for new folks who want to play.

![]() Not a great "shadow" cover but it is the first one that I thought of....for longest time I thought my copy just had a smudge or stain before I realized it was a shadow cast over the fallen heroes. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Dshel61 I actually put a rule in stating that you can use the Shadow character but only if the art includes a shadow. So unless I'm not seeing it, this cover wouldn't count. |
