    Default Cover Contest 12/7-12/13 Original Graphic Novel

    The subject for this contest is Original Graphic Novel. The cover must be from an original work that is a self contained story in one book that is not a monthly floppie. No compilations, collected editions or omnibi. If there is any confusion on what I mean by Original Graphic Novel, please ask.

    As a fun aside, I won this week here and on the Classic Comics Forum, so I am posting the same contest, it will be interesting to compare the covers posted.

    My sample is what some consider the first graphic Novel. His Name is Savage by Gil Kane with a script by Archie Goodwin.





    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!
    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!

    I submitted this cover once before, but I believe it is worth using again.

    Dang! K7P5V got the jump on me with the Triumph and Torment Cover! I'm a bit sentimental about that since I own some of the original art and Mike Mignola signed my copy of the book some years back at C2E2 in Chicago.

    Oh well, I've not read this one but it came out the same year I think. (1986)
