CBR Cover Contest: Your Best Year, Yet! (April 19th to April 25th)

[SuperCooper]

The theme for this week's cover contest is going to turn the attention on to you! (Yes, you!) Because this week's contest is all about...

Your best year, yet!

Pick a comic book cover that represents the best year of your life, either explicitly referencing an event or taking a more symbolic spin on things. And if you're open to it, write up a little blurb on why it is/was your best year.


For example....



2017 is my best year, yet, as I've got an upcoming wedding in just a few months time! And I'm feeling more like Supes than Clark Kent!


The Cover Contest Criterion:
Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
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 (3 AM EST)!
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!
The Winner of the Contest is the Entry 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!

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!

Edit: Even 17 years later, it was perhaps the best year of my life. Happy stuff long gone but not forgotten.

Before we play
Some dangerous game
Before we fan
Some harmless flame
We have to ask if this is wise
And if the game is worth the prize

With this wine and with this music
How can anything be clear?
Let's wait and see
It may just be
The perfect year



In 2008, I appeared on The Einstein Factor, a quiz show for "the person who knows everything about something and something about everything", with Batman comics as my specialist topic. I made it all the way through to the grand final, and came runner-up. This probably counts as my 15 minutes of fame.

Why girl singers in flashy costumes? Well, during my Navy days, in 1977, the ship I was stationed on was transferred from Pearl Harbor to Yokosuka, Japan where I discovered and fell in love with Pink Lady, an uber-popular duo of girl singers in flashy costumes, like below:



In 2003, I traveled to Japan where I finally got to see Pink Lady in concert during a reunion tour, something I wasn't able to do back in '77, easily one of THE happiest days in my life!

They were sexy, no doubt, but their infamous show with Jeff Altman was still very, very bad.

Oh, ho! I didn't think anyone here knew about Mie and Kei, or the craptastic TV show (rated the 45th worst in television history according to TV Guide) they co-hosted with Jeff Altman. I commend you for being so knowledgable!

I don't really have a greatest year, but I'll go with 1988 for this contest anyway. Seemed like everything I did that year came up roses, especially with the ladies.
