    So close, and yet so far!

    Oh well. Congrats to Shalla Bal.

    And thanks to everyone who appreciated the combination of the brilliant artistry of Matt Baker, and the strangely sexually charged nature of many 1950s romance covers.

    Congratulations to Shalla Bal for a cover with many levels of meta. First, the popularity of the Sun Girl book. Every other passenger is reading it and for a second issue, that's a pretty big claim. Second, Not one of the men are offering Sun Girl their seat. Even in the 21st century, this is not only frowned upon, but actually rare. I guess comic fans need to get some manners, LOL!

    As to the peak of the week where the captain goes on about what he's learned from this contest, it's been clear over a few recent themes that comics rely on both the fantastic and the mundane which serves as a link to its readers. An English teacher back in school once told us that most fiction broke down into two groups: the existence of a fantastic item in a normal setting or the existence of a normal item in a fantastic setting. Most comics pretty much follow these groupings.

    And I must confess about the votes of Raving Ray and Shalla Bal, "How Sweet They Are!"

    Those are practically the same exact image! Thanks for the vote and humor, Capt. This happens to be my favorite Bond film.

    Thank you everyone, this is truly a surprise!
    Special thanks to icctrombone, seismic-2, Riv86672 and Ajax_X.

    I'm in the middle of something right now but I will have the new contest up within a couple of hours.

    @seismic-2: Sun Girl was published by Timely/Marvel back in 1948. Her own comic debuted in mid-1948, as did new series for Namora and Venus. At the time Timely/Marvel was playing up female heroes. Sun Girl's own series lasted a mere three issues, but she continued to appear in Human Torch stories. She was drawn by Golden Age artist Ken Bald; after a long career he passed away in 2019 at the ripe old age of 98!
