Great Job ChadH!

Thanks to WPP for the vote.

@ Kirby I was thinking of the cover from the issue before the one I posted because it does have Blackie Drago flying above Spiderman and it was pretty cool but I went with the one I did because it also had Kraven and I loved that 3 way fight.

@ Iron Maiden. The Stan Lee/John Romita Sr era of Spiderman is my favorite all time of Spiderman. I love it even more then the Lee Ditko Era. I am looking more into John Romita Sr the last few weeks as he has become a very quick all time favorite of mine. if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them.

Yay, ChadH!

[CaptCleghorn]

Congratulations to ChadH for a Definitely Colorful cover. The representation of fluidity using material (I think, after all, it is Shade) is exciting.

The captain has learned in the Peak of the Week that favorites are truly unique to an individual and our tastes all differ. Some of us have very defined characteristics and our favorites seem almost like a rubber stamp. With others we get some idea, but still can be surprised. And with some, it's often a case of "I never knew that!". It's always fun seeing the representations and each person's feelings. The cover is the page which is meant to sell the book. This idea was pretty much it back in Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age times. In those days we had a scene from the book and titles, as well as promotional text. Rarely, we would get a generic but well drawn poster cover which appealed to us. As seen in my choice and my vote, I like the covers which show us what's actually in the book. Each issue is different and we need something that will properly differentiate issue X from issue X+1. Or I'd like that anyway.

And don't get me started about issues with multiple variant cover. A funny book does not need more covers than inside story pages.

Wasn’t expecting to win with all the great covers this week.
Thank you those who voted for me.
Thanks to Kirby for a fun contest this week.
I’ll get another going when I get home from work tonight.
