    Default Cover Contest 9/16-9/22 Back to the Kubert School Week

    To celebrate my acquiring one of my comic grails (Son of Sinbad #1; 1950 with Kubert art) post a cover by a Kubert or Kubert school alum (Joe, Adam, Andy or any of number of folks who graduated from the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon Art before entering the comics field).




    now let's see some more of that Kuberty goodness!

    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 Wednesday PDT and Runs Until 12 AM Tuesday PDT (3 AM EDT)! (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!

    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.

    Great idea for this weeks contest. There are going to be some great entries. I missed my first choice by a couple minutes. Here is my second choice. A great Sgt Rock cover. The worry in his face says it all.

    I'd like to request this be changed from actually graduated to attended. It's often difficult to ascertain the graduation status of an artist. Plus, I have enough difficulty foinding pretty covers without doing any actual research.

    If they attended and then went to work in the comics field consider them having graduated to the industry whether they graduated form the school or not if you want.
