From November 1952, back when tattoos were a lot less common than they are now:

Love that Porky has a face tattoo of "Sep 23 A.N.G."

I really like the submissions so far. I plan to copy a couple of them for my collection.

It's actually "A.N.C.", for "American News Co.", which was the dominant magazine distributor in the US at the time. ANC's collapse in 1957 caused great upheaval in the comic book world.

Do graphic novels (that aren't collections) count? Even if they don't, I'm going to make this my entry, because it's important to remember that not all tattoos are voluntary.

LEST WE FORGET

Graphic Novels certainly do count. Or at least they should.

Graphic novels have always counted in the past. They should still be now.

Thanks for the info. Maybe the second rule:

> Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume.

should be modified to make it explicit that this includes graphic novels as well as trades.
