    Default Cover Contest: 23 Dec - 29 Dec: A Holly, Jolly Christmas!

    Being so close to the 25th of December, clearly this week's contest was going to be Christmas-themed.
    So, for this year the theme is DECK THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY





    Show me any Comic Book cover that show Holly... but you can stretch that definition as far as you like, it could even feature characters named Holly!
    And yes, I will allow mistletoe! It's Christmas!





    And now for 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!
    *) Not a rule, but it has been suggested that we post the title and number of the comic we post.
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday PDT (3AM EDT) 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!

    The holly and the ivy
    When they are both full grown
    Of all trees that are in the wood
    The holly bears the crown

    The Holly and the Ivy
    Are both from Arkham gone
    Of all the trees that are in the wood,
    The Holly bears the crown

    The rising of the sun
    And the running of the deer
    And the green growth in the time of spring
    They bring a love so queer

    Attempt 1: Onre of the frogs is long lost sister Holly. Meh
    Attempt 2: One of the Black Kiss Cover Eye Candy is named Holly. A stretch to be sure.
    Third times the charm. She really is named Holly. It's like Canon and stuff.

    The holly’s right around the text “A Christmas Happening”.

    Well, Riv got the one I was thinking of. So here is where I saw it reprinted, the first time I read it.

    Not very jolly but it’s still my choice. (Then I’m not very fond of Christmas images…)

    I loved these old Archie Christmas specials. Really put me in the spirit.

    There seems to be a wreath in the background, not sure if there is any holly, but I posted it anyway. Holly is not so easy to find.
