Cover Contest 1/31-2/618:Time Tunnel- Welcome to February xxx8...

So it's the last day of January 2018, and this contest ends in February, so our theme this week is to take the time tunnel and post your favorite cover with a February cover date from a year ending in 8 (1938, 1948, 1958, 1968, 1978, 1988, 1998, 2008 or 2018).

The Rules for those who need them:
Post one (and only one) cover that fits the theme of this week's contest.
Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume.
Covers must be posted before voting begins.
Voting begins 12 AM Tuesday and runs until 12 AM Wednesday PST.
Vote by posting the name in bold of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most. A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to tally votes.
The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period.
It's okay to discuss the covers but if you think someone's entry doesn't fit the theme or violates the rules don't argue it in the thread - simply don't vote for it.
More importantly, remember that we're here to have fun. Enjoy!

The winner gets to start the next contest. To avoid repeats, he, she or they can check previous themes here:
