Cover Contest 10/11- 10/17: This Aged Well ( sarcasm)

-edited to better suit the theme- Lois Lane

Why does Superman have that machine anyway? Is he just giving people tans or is there something more eugenics-y going on when no one's looking?

[ed2962]

Not only do we get racist Japanese caricatures, we also get Whitewash Jones!

I wanna say I saw a scan of a more modern comic that acknowledged that these comics did exist in the fictional Marvel U, but pointed out how troubling they were.

[ed2962]

Considered the worst new character from the Bloodlines crossover, I give you:

JAMM!

Jamm is a Wayne's World inspired skater dude. His power is a rapey kind of mind control that makes Starfox look like a harmless character. Jamm has not been used much.
He did have a rad trading card though, dudes. It was epic.

"When he's not on screen I want everyone to say 'Where's Poochie?' "

Super spy Wonder Woman

Ironically, Gloria Steinem was not a fan of hip "liberated" WW...

[ed2962]

Good luck calling someone fat these days...

I wanna say there were a bunch of "fat" Superman family related covers back then?

The Conqueror

I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard of it. Doesn't John Wayne say something like "Say, you're beautiful in your wrath" in it? ( a play on an old chauvinistic trope )

[ed2962]

Egg Fu. He has gone through some rework these days.

I know they brought him back for Infinite Crisis or one of the other DC events...are they still using him?

[ed2962]

GREAT COVERS, EVERYONE! I'm glad went with this theme instead something else.

He makes Adam X, the X-Treme seem nuanced in comparison.

That's this movie. It also features Wayne in yellowface as Genghis Khan. It's a terrible film all round.

However, the true shame of this film is that it was filmed in Utah downwind of nuclear test sites. Of the 220 crew members, 91 (comprising 41% of the crew) developed cancer during their lifetime, while 46 (or 21%) died from it. This includes director Dick Powell, and stars John Wayne, Susan Hayward and Pedro Armendáriz (who committed suicide after being diagnosed with terminal cancer).

CaptainEurope, for reminding of a character I had tried desperately to forget,

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Iron Maiden gets my vote since I'm still a fan of Disco music!

[Nschornhorst]

I go babyblob since I was looking for a Cosby cover, but I was going the Fat Albert route and couldn't find one I liked.

[CaptainEurope]

ChadH for a cover that gets its hooks in you.

So this week I vote nx01a for a few reasons...

There's the well meaning yet now sorta cringe approach to the topic. The premise is based on a book by a real life reporter who disguised himself as a black man to learn about the black experience in the late 50's/early 60's. The title is from a controversial 70's movie called "I am Curious ( Yellow)". Plus, 70's mini skirts!
