I thought I'd write another post to reiterate the theme as I notice some posters have hooked themselves on the word "carry" or "heavy" and posting any cover where someone is carrying or holding someone. That's not what it's about. The phrase "He ain't Heavy" is stated by someone who is acting seflessly and helping someone out even though he gets nothing out of it just like the homeless dude on the cover of the Daredevil cover taking a John Doe to the hospital and expecting nothing in return. There are some good examples that have been posted. From amongst those, I've posted a couple.
Concrete helping a farm out and rescuing a pig amongst others (that's what I gather from the cover):
Ben in a dire situation where he knows if he makes a run for it, he'll get out alive but more important for him is his buddy Bill. For Ben, Bill is physically heavy but he's decided he's not heavy, if you know what I mean, because his goal is to get him out alive and he'll do anything to achieve that goal just as one would for his or her own blood brother/sister.
Below is a good example where you don’t need to be carrying anyone to state you're there for them. We'll get out together or not at all. I'm by your side and we'll fight this together.
I know it's not an easy theme but hey, it'll get us to put our thinking caps on and do some extra (soul) searching for some covers. Thanks for your patience and taking part in this particular contest.

West Philly Punisher. One of my favourite covers ever.
Chicken Pocket matched the theme very well and it is an interesting cover.

Hillary was right!
Kirby101 . I Interpreted the subject as someone helping a person who needed it and not just carrying a dead body. There were only a few covers that matched my take on it.
