Been in a kick reading a lot of weird tales recently, including Chambers The King in Yellow, so in honor of that, post your favorite comic book cover that has a yellow background. Yellow backgrounds have been ubiquitous in comics form its earliest days, including on some of the most significant comics of all time...
Post one (and only one) cover that fits the theme of this week's contest.
Covers must be from a published comic book, collected volume or graphic novel.
Covers must be posted before voting begins.
Voting begins 12 AM Tuesday and runs until 12 AM Wednesday PST.
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 tally votes.
The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period.
It's okay to discuss the covers but if you think someone's entry doesn't fit the theme or violates the rules don't argue it in the thread - simply don't vote for it.
Most importantly, remember that we're here to have fun. Enjoy!
Now let's see some cool comic covers.

I didn't realize before, how many covers have this color as background. This was a tough choice between some good covers.
