For this Week's Contest I wanted to do a theme that I love. The Big Reveal. A hero being unmasked, a villain being revealed as the mastermind behind the plot all of it. I just love it and how big of a deal they used to make it.
This theme can cover many things. A cover where a bad guy unmasks the hero, or the hero unmasks themselves, or even if no one is being unmaksed on the cover as long as they make reference to the hero or big bad being unmasked or revealed it will all work.
One more thing. this does not just mean the villain of the month being unmaksed at the end of their first appearance. I mean more of a multi issue (2 or more story) where an unknown bad guy is behind some comic book zaniness and is then revealed or a super villian who has shown up many issues over the run but was never unmasked or revealed until many issues later. IE Doc Ock as The Master Planner or Green Goblin.
Here is a cover from one of my favorite comics of all.
