    `Cause there ain't room enough for two
    In dreams that were made for me and you
    I`m telling you, it`s getting mighty crowded
    Too crowded for me
    It`s getting mighty crowded


    Did someone say 'group shot'?

    Somehow, I'm fairly sure this will be followed by lots more George Pérez covers…

    Too bad Adam Hughes's Women of DC poster hasn't been made into a cover.

    I've never seen so many busy covers in one thread before (yes, I know my cover--FF Annual #3--could be said to be a prototype of said "busy" covers, but it was done well before it became a "thing").


    Anyway, I'll go with Rob Allen's

    ....
    I know this will upset some people here ("let the voters decide!"), but I'll ask it anyway: did the rules change in the last few days? 'Cause some covers here are not from comic books or collected volumes.

    I get that some people just look for pretty covers online and don't actually know what's in the periodical or book or even know whether or not it's a comic book. And I know this contest isn't to gauge anyone's knowledge, it's just for fun, so I'm okay with it ....but just pointing it out.

    Knew it was a periodical, figured it was comic adjacent enough.
    And the cover art fit so wonderfully with the theme, didn't think anyone would complain.
    I'll withdraw it

    Win can and should defer to the next with most votes.

    Fyi Although published by Marvel Your Frankenstein cover win was a prose novel, with full page Illustrations, not a comic ---- https://community.cbr.com/showthread...=1#post3541065

    Touche'. Hoisted on my own petard.

    It was a novel and it was graphic. . (Hangs head in shame)
    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!
