    Default CBR Cover Contest 2019 Grand-Master!!

    As I'd talked about in a previous contest thread, I thought it might be fun to count up the wins of everyone who played the Cover Contest last year and declare the player with the most wins our...
    2018 Cover Contest Grand-Master!

    That player, with 5 total wins is Kirby101!!!

    Here's a list of his winning contests:

    (3/14 - 3/20/18) SCIENCE! A Stephen Hawking Memorial
    Winner: Kirby101 - Frankenstein - Illustrated by Berni Wrightson

    (4/25 - 5/1/18) Painted Adventure Comic Covers From Dell/Western/Gold Key
    Winner: Kirby101 - The Occult Files of Doctor Spektor Volume #4

    (6/13 - 6/19/18) - Turn Around Bright Eyes
    Winner: Kirby101 - Amazing Spider-Man #50

    (9/19 - 9/25/18) Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
    Winner: Kirby101 - The Beatles Yellow Submarine

    (11/14 - 11/20/18) Stan Lee!
    Winner: Kirby101 - What If? #11 (1978)

    Our two runners-up with 4 wins each are MRP and nx01a. Better luck next year friends!

    I probably shouldn't have told Steppenwolf tho...



    Whew! Darkseid looks pissed! I'm glad I'm not in your shoes Kirby101.

    Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    Wow, I had no idea. I remember winning a few but never imagined it was the most last year.

    I will never complain about a cover of mine not getting any votes again.

    Thanks for tabulation Chad.

    Congrats Kirby and thanks to ChadH for doing this and all the work he does as the cover contest archivist.

    That's pretty darn impressive! You go, Kirby101!

    Addendum: I have seven wins all time in the contest (two in 2018), and Kirby managed nearly that many in one calendar year! WOW!

    Didn't realize I'd won so many times last year. Wow.

    Congrats, everyone else! Here's to another year of cover fun!

    Thanks all. Glad you like them.
    I will have to go into Chad's list to see what my total is.

    I went to Chad H's totals and going back to my edhopper years I have won a total of 10 times. Which is pretty cool. However I did not win once in 2017, but then went on to win 5 times in 2018. This contest is a quirky thing. Of course as with the Olympics it's not about winning but in taking part.

    Congrats Kirby101.

    My best year was 2016 with 4 wins, but in 2018 I only won once. So, yeah it is quirky like that.

    I remain in awe of the ability of posters to consistently find extraordinary covers week after week. Your efforts and talent are much appreciated.
