"It is wrong to assume that art needs the spectator in order to be. The film runs on without any eyes. The spectator cannot exist without it. It ensures his existence." -- James Douglas Morrison
ChadH managed a Dazzler sports tie-in, and that... is not an easy thing to think of. Kudos.

I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
Great entries all. It was a toss up between a cover I had never seen before and an old favorite, but the nod goes to Ravin' Ray with a beauty I hadn't seen before.

Lots of unusual entries but I have to vote for that A-Force variant cover. So funny that there are two Roller Derby covers in the mix. Raise your hand if you ever been to a Roller Derby game! I remember seeing Joanie Weston when she skated for the Chicago Pioneers at the Chicago Colosseum. She established her rep as Queen of the Roller Derby while with the San Francisco Bay Area Bombers but towards the end of her career skated for the Midwest Pioneers as the Women's Captain. The Captain of the men's team was Ronnie Robinson, son of legendary boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. Their "enemies" were teams like the NYC Chiefs and the Texas Outlaws. Mostly we saw them on TV on those fuzzy UHF channels but the also played at local venues like the Hammond, Ind. Civic Center.
