    Default Cover Contest 5/8-5/14/19 Good Evening, Mr. Hitchcock

    So last week's theme was trains, and I just watched the Hitchcock classic North by Northwest the other evening, which had a significant scene set on a train, which has led me to this week's topic-covers related to the titles of Hitchcock films (not necessarily the film itself, just its title). Any of his film titles is fair game, but give the film title that relates to your cover.

    So for me, since I just saw North by Northwest, I'll go with this...




    if you are not familiar with Hitchcock films, here's a filmography for him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred...ck_filmography


    THE RULES:
    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Collected Volume!
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
    5) 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 Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
    8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
    9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
    10) HAVE FUN!

    A Hitchcock movie? No one single Hitchcock movie could be worthy of the captain's selection for one of the great masters of cinema. Instead, he pays homage to the Hitchcock trademark, the cameo. And as such, this week's entry is an early Stan Lee cameo appearance.

    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.

    To Catch a Thief



    Would have used Cooke's Selina's Big Score but I loved everything about that book, except the cover LOL.
