Cover Contest 19 May - 25 May: Show Us Your 'Stache

[Conn Seanery]

Voting for Zelena.

Almost went with foxley's Jim Gordon, but in the end I had to choose the silliness of Riv86672's entry.

I'll cast my vote for Ajax_X, since featuring several distinct varieties of mustache that are explicitly identified by name is service above and beyond anything I expected.

I want to thank everyone who posted a cover this week, and I am amazed by the variety of the selections. If I could re-write the rules, I would declare them all to be winners. But since I can't, someone will in fact have to tally the votes, and since I shall be hibernating by the time the contest ends, I invite any interested party to do the counting in my stead. Otherwise, I'll do it in the morning. Thanks for making this a really fun week, everyone!

This is a difficult one, but since there is a Superman voiced by Nicolas Cage now with a stache, I think this makes me choice simpler and I will vote for Riv86672. And tell him of his victory in PM assuming he doesn't read this post when it's fresh.

[Ravin' Ray]

Congratulations, Riv86672! And in homage to your cover, this is the one I posted for the "Glasses" week which has a similar theme (and which I could have used here, fake mustaches or not).

[Stony]

Well done Riv86672!

Congratulations to Riv86672 for a comic with losts of interesting facial hair. I suspect this was a Movember thing, but could be wrong. In any case, Diana makes the cover for me.

And now, what has the captain learned this contest in the Peak of the Week: the captain does not shave and can finally grow a stache and beard combo. For those of who who actually read my adventures way back in the early 80s, the drawings of me had a small number of single chin hairs, signifying my struggle to grow something. And facial hair matters. Even for the most anti-fashion male, the face is a place where we go nuts and it's easily one of the first things noticed about a male when he's first seen. This applies tpo Real Life as well as the comic book cover.

As to the Groucho cover, there is this which was my second choice, although it wasn't close. After all, Chaplin/Hitler has mustaches as a major plot point:
