Not particularly a fan of his artwork, but BRANDO really outdid himself on this cover.

Nschornhorst gets my vote.

[Kirby101]

Not sure what cover I will use, but I love this splash page by Barry Smith from Avengers #98

[Iron Maiden]

You can tell how far back that goes when it's credited to Barry Smith and not Barry Windsor Smith!

Great painted cover by Earl Norem for Avengers paperback.

I have never been a fan of the yellow and green costume(?), body(?) so this red Vision suits me.

Isn’t it fixed, now?

From what I could find, it's a poster from a European site, so not even an actual cover.

Congratulations to Kirby101 for a marvelous vision which used some outside the long box thinking.

And now, what has the captained learned this week in this peak of the week: When we in this contest focus on a single character, we find the special cases which are unlike traditional comic book covers. The Tom King series had many examples of this. We got to see powerful juxtapositions of Vizh and idealized American family life. I picked up the King series in two trades and noted that the inside ads wee for Scarlet Witch's book. Figures, you get your acclaimed and poignant family story and your ex gets ads in it.

Congrats kirby101
and thanks CaptCleghorn for the vote for the classic Vision cover!

Great painted cover by Earl Norem for Avengers paperback.

I have this book; someone gave it to me about 25 years ago. The cover is a bit glossy so the painterly tones are lost This book reprints Avengers #57 and #58 (with cuts), the Vision's debut; and also for some inexplicable reason it includes that silly Lady Liberators story from Avengers #83 (also with cuts). And it's not all in color for a dime (or $1.75); the reprinted material is in black and white.
