| 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.

Although I own two issues of Crime Does Not Pay that would fit the topic, I am going to now chose this pre-code comic. I also prefer to use my own books when possible when posting for this contest. |

Normally, I only post scans of things I own. The only pre-code crime comics I own are EC, so I'll skip out on my guideline this time. |

| Sorry for my ignorance but what is meant by the term "pre-code"? And does the cover have to include the word crime on it, or could it simply be a depiction of a crime? | ||
| Post 18 • IP flag post | ||
 Pictures? We don't need no stinking pictures.

Quote:Originally Posted by Savage_Spawn Pre-Code just means it was published before the Comics Code Authority was established, so it doesn't have that weird "A" symbol on its cover. Any title related to crime, criminals, etc. would work. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Savage_Spawn It would pertain to comics that came out prior to the creation of the comics code authority in the 1950's. The comics code "stamp" was put on comics after the code was implemented.  |

| The comics code authority... was either a self censoring initiative by comics publishers or an actual separate body that approved or denied submitted content by the publishers.....my understanding is that the publisher could still publish declined art/stories from the comics code but the code stamp would not appear on the comic. | ||
