Thanks again for the votes folks.
This week we're doing covers by Michael Allred.
He has a distinctive style that some might describe as quirky or kitsch. I've always been fond of it.
Here's my submission:
THE RULES:
Post one (and 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.
It's ok to vote for the OP if you like their cover.
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.
Occasionally voting will result in a tie, in which case a tie breaking vote will be required from someone who has not yet voted.
More importantly, remember that we're here to have fun. Enjoy!

"If everybody had an ocean,
across the U. S. A.,
then everybody'd be surfin',
like Californi-a,
you'd see 'em wearing their baggies,
huarache sandals too,
a bushy bushy blonde hairdo,
surfin' U. S. A."
---from Surfin' U.S.A. by The Beach Boys

That brunette was supposed to be Princess Diana, but Marvel and Peter Milligan were forced to drop her and create a brand new character… for obvious reasons.

Love it, he has a very crisp, retro pop-art style.
hard not to go with his own Madman! But I absolutely love this trippy retro Avengers Pinball.Last edited by Güicho; 07-10-2019 at 04:30 PM.

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!
