Cover Contest 10/9-10/15 Ships of the Sea

[MRP]

Oddly it seems a lot of my wins fall on or around American holidays, so I tend to use them to inspire my topic choices, and this weekend celebrates the voyages of the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria (whatever view you may have of Cristobar's legacy itself), so our theme this week is Ships of the Sea-post a cover depicting some kind of ship, boat etc. at sea (or on a river, lake, ocean, etc.)


let's start things off with a little Will Eisner...




And now the rules....

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!

"In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand."
---from In The Navy by Village People

I am sailing
I am sailing
Home again
'Cross the sea
I am sailing,
Stormy waters
To be near you,
To be free

Congratulations to foxley for a cover which mixes beauty and power with a restricted color palette which provides us with a powerful picture.

And now, what has the captain learned this week? Indeed, the basics are clear. But the amount of covers and the variety of titles which had a cover on the water is extraordinary. Comics, there's something for everyone, I guess.

Congratulations foxley

And thanks to CaptCleghorn and LordMikel for your votes!

Abe, I think the Captain's "HM" meant "honorable mention" for your entry. I hope we see more entries from you !
