Hi everyone, sorry for the delay. This week's topic: parachutes! Why parachutes, you ask? Well for one thing, it gives me the chance to post a Jim Aparo cover that I really like a lotAnyway I have faith that everyone will post some great and interesting covers that include at least one parachute.
And of course the usual RULES apply:
1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book, Graphic Novel, or Collected Volume!
3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
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!
8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
10) HAVE FUN!

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!

When I find myself looking for a cover, Jimmy Olsen comes to me - speaking words of wisdom "wheeeee, wheeeeee"

Much harder than one might think.
Sadly, it isn't Rex though.Last edited by LordMikel; 03-09-2022 at 07:32 PM.
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.

Sadly for you, maybe. The rest of us are happy we stand a snowball's chance in hell.

Howard Chaykin
He just did the cover here, but a few years later Chaykin did semi-controversial prestige BlackHawk mini that he both wrote and drew.

Prepare for the moody tones
That are well known as your own
You know that I know you know
That you're moving to the jump zone
And you're ready to
Parachute
Falling from the sky
Parachute
Gone in the blink of an eye
Parachute
You're about to fly
Parachute
Gone in the blink of an eye
Did somebody say Rex?
This is my all-time favourite Rex cover (and that's saying something).
And why, you might ask, does the dog have a submachinegun? Because he's goddamn Rex, that's why!
