I was not aware of that. I think I have only read one Dylan Dog. Thanks for the info. Originally Posted by Kai "the spy"

As long as we're discussing Groucho in comic books, let us not forget "Lord Julius" from Cerebus. According to Comic Vine, he appeared in 35 issues (during the "Church and State" phonebook).

Given the many examples here, one might almost think this contest is "unfortunate Asian stereotypes"…

Although they are hardly the majority of the covers, they are indeed unfortunate… Originally Posted by kjn

That contest would be too simple, given that probably half the comic book covers from WWII would fit the bill. Originally Posted by kjn

Yet his "moustache" is one of the most iconic of all time, perhaps the most iconic but at least top five. Originally he wore a glued-on prop moustache, then he used the greasepaint one day when he was in a hurry. The rest is history. Originally Posted by foxley

Is this the first time we've had a Ralf König cover for the contest? His retelling of Lysistrate is a riot! Originally Posted by CaptainEurope

This one is not about the Jan 6 insurrection, but about the founding mythos of the city of Cologne.

Couldn't find any with search, but he might have gone unnamed. Great comics artist and storyteller with a singular style. Originally Posted by Zelena

“Cover Contest Jan 27 - Feb 2: Scenes from an Ordinary, Normal Life”… I voted for it. Originally Posted by kjn
