    Default Cover Contest 2020/06/17 to 2020/06/23: Rainbows for Pride Month!

    ok, let's get the small print out of the way, first:

    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, Graphic Novel, 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)! (This is in US time)
    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!
    __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______

    It's Pride Month! And as most crowd evens have been canceled, I am hijacking this contest for a Pride event involving RAINBOWS!

    Post a cover featuring rainbows, rainbow flags or rainbow themes costumes.

    Here is my entry:

    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.

    OK, my favorite artist's last big cover wasn't able to be used because, well, it was pulled. I decided to use another from the series that was actually on a published book. So here we go...

    NOT AN ENTRY, because it was an illustrated book rather than a graphic novel.
    But the painted artwork was amazing.

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Hopefully the context makes up for some of the missing colors.

    Since it's an illustrated book rather than a traditional comic book, it's not my actual entry. It just seemed like the right thing to post anyway.

    You know I never noticed, but Robin's arm isn't in a sling, because it is in a sling in the book.
