    Not characters with eagle in the name or F-15 fighters, just the birds.

    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!

    Who looks more uncomfortable, the eagle, or the other guy? Tarzan seems totally chill with everything.

    TBH This is perhaps one of the dumbest DC covers I've ever seen, which actually makes it kind of funny.

    Heavy Metal in a foreign language. But it is a Boris Vallejo cover.

    and this was after thumbing through many Beagle Brothers comics.

    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.

    The Eagle and the Tortoise. (Sorry, I didn’t find a smaller picture…)

    And I dream I'm an eagle
    And I dream I can spread my wings
    Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky
    I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze

    High, high, what a feeling to fly
    Over mountains and forests and seas
    And to go anywhere that I please

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
