COVER CONTEST July 6 - 12 Railroad/Train/Subway Tracks

[Shalla Bal]

All right, for this week's contest let's go with comic book covers that include Railroad/Train/Subway Tracks. The train tracks must be plainly visible and not buried in the background or very tiny.

The twist is:
the cover cannot include a woman or female robot or female space creature or female bunny rabbit or anything resembling a comic book woman or... etc. in danger on, near, or around the tracks or about to be in danger. That means no damsels in distress; no damsels tied to railroad tracks, or being thrown onto railroad track, etc. Got it?

There are plenty of comic book covers with railroad tracks on them that don't feature the boring old cliched woman tied or thrown onto the tracks; my cover below is a case in point!


The RULES:

1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
2) Covers 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 PST and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)! (This is in US time)
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.

My example: Phantom Lady's no damsel in distress!! She's rescuing him.

The elevated train by my window
Doesn't faze me anymore
The rattling screams don't disrupt my dreams
It's a lullaby, in its way
The elevated train drives everyone insane
But I don't mind, oh no
When I bring back boys they can't tolerate the noise
And that's okay, 'cause I never let them stay
And one day, I'm hoppin' that elevated train and I'm riding away!
It won't be long now!

I like this one. One of the many Superman/Train covers.

Another Dude in Distress. Kirby really made Johnny look helpless here, from the pose to his face.

"Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe. It's not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train"
---Crazy Train by Ozzy Osboune

When I heard Railroad tracks, I immediately thought of one character. Blaine from the Gunslinger series of Stephen King. Which is based upon the Charlie the Choo Choo book, which is a children's book which does exist.

Blaine is a pain everyone. Do you know any good riddles?


If children books aren't allowed, I'll happily mark this as a "Not an entry" and find something different. I'm just happy to share some knowledge.
