    Default Cover Contest November 30 - December 6: It's in the Details

    Taking a cue from my winning entry last contest - This one is about Comic Book Covers with intricate and/or detailed artwork. Here is another example from Colleen Doran for her GN Orbiter




    Here are the usual 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).
    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!

    If the world around you is changing like the weather
    You could freak out babe, or sit back and watch it change
    It's a lonely life but you could make it better
    Just remember, ooh
    The devil's in the details




    And here is two-page spread that the cover is a detail from.:

    I hope there won’t be any problems:

    I love getting these "little nothings" because Trondheim always puts a lot of detail into "nothing".

    Dale Eaglesham loves his details. It might be why we see him so rarely on a monthly book.

    No one in comics does detail like Geof Darrow.



    Even his pencils are insane



    And the clean full cover art

    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!

    Once again my minimalist frogmen are eschewed. Therefore let's go with a plethora of guest faces by Mr. Neal Adams.

    I've used this cover before, and I'll probably use it (or one like it) again.
