Cover contest 2/17 to 2/23: Black history month

[CSTowle]

In honor of being just over halfway through BLACK HISTORY MONTH, and after the poll on black comic creators had it on my mind, this week's contest asks you to post the cover you think best fits that theme. Could be by a favorite black artist, featuring your favorite black character(s), or whatever else you might feel fits (please no trolling, though).

Cover Contest Weekly Posted Rules:

Post one (and only one) cover that fits the theme of this week's contest.
No suggestions from the peanut gallery - post it yourself or keep quiet.
Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume.
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.
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, you don't need to argue it in the thread, simply don't vote for it.
Most importantly please remember that we're here to have fun. Enjoy!

Ferro Lad, the first black Legionnaire, is "white-washed" for the good old "that'll never play in the South" reason.

One of the greatest "good girl" artists of all-time, without a doubt.
