I hate clowns but I do love me a good ol' creepy dummy. Have lots of them. I break this one out to scare the kids when they are bad!

I do not approve! Down with the clown. Still cool stuff guys!

Very nice, Sagii! I like your poem but I sure don't like clowns! They are shiesty and creepy!

This splash is fantastic! What issue is this from? It's going on the want list! (thumbs u That's Web of Evil #2 I believe, Jay

The reigning champ comes back in free style force! Very awesome, Jay. That cover begged a poem. I put your winning book in the mail today, BTW. Keep up the good work!

Thanks pccalhoun and frozen tundra. Good sports the two of you. I really enjoyed the contest and enjoy sharing and reading some very good work on here. Keep it up guys!

Thanks, porcupine. Well the votes are in, recounted, no hanging chads and the winner by only one vote is Jayman! Congratulations! The thread will continue in the free style pick your cover format until the next contest rolls around. Thanks to all who contributed, voted, or just took a look. Good times.

Alright. Will check in the morning to see if anymore votes get cast or I will just cut the Wonder Comics 18 into three pieces which hopefully I won't have to do!

Probably, or at least until people start to forget about Lost. I would figure they would have by now. Never understood the perceived value on that book. That's just my opinion.

Oh the nerv! To show so many great books that is!

OK voting is over and we have a three way tie! Will wait 10 more minutes to see if we can get a breaker vote.

Going to keep taking votes for the contest until 10:00 est. Contest is neck and neck so keep voting!

Please remember to vote today for the contest winner. I have some that have been rolling in but lets show some appreciation for the 5 entries and pick a winner!

Two great books, congrats! That 26 is so cool with the ghost having those translucent hands! You must have got that Astonishing when it went live because I was ahead before then. Nice pick ups on the two!

You know I missed your contribution the first time around Corgi! Must have been distracted to get home to watch WD. Thanks for adding to a fun contest!

Entry #3 Worlds apart you call to me Mildred I called you, you called me Ray We were joined heart and soul that very day Worlds apart you call to me Young lovers once but across the sea I had to sail alas, it was my destiny Worlds apart you call to me You were my first love from long ago When will I see you again, this I must know Worlds apart you call to me Years go by as time does unwind I can hear your voice calling me in my mind Worlds apart you call to me I will, I will! Return to my native soil I will have your sweet embrace that none can spoil Worlds apart you call to me I'm here, I'm here! But I'm all alone Your call beckons me to find you under a stone Worlds apart you call to me Entry #4 You loved an amputee like me. Such a nice and weird lady. Your cooking smelled up all the halls, And so I sucked out your eyeballs. Now it is late, and I've got to go. It's almost time for the Walking Dead show. Before I leave, let's hug and pray, Who the heck was Mildred and Cray?

The 4 finalist are in. Please pm me with your favorite selection by 8pm est tomorrow so I can announce the winner of the inaugural pre code poetry contest. Thanks to everyone who participted ! Entry #1 Please release me, you sentimental fool can you not see I'm now a nearly perfect ghoul. Let me rest entombed in blissful unknown peace even though you wait, retardedly, for my release. My clothes are now in tatters, in case you had not seen worms have left me no skin, my bones cast an excellent sheen. The earth has cleansed my body of any trace of fat thank goodness I have not had to endure nibbling's from a rat. Have you not noticed that my skin is now long gone it's been 10 dreary years, and they have left me visibly wan. My teeth are thoroughly rotted, my bones are covered with dust so place me gently back into the grave, as now you surely must. Fly away and be gone forever, you goulish phantom dreamer or I will have to to exert myself, and become your nightmare screamer. Please release me, and let me rest in my tomb twill be much more enjoyable than haunting you till your doom.

Ok. Entries will end at 11:000pm est and then the voting phone lines will be open. Hurry up if you want to submit!

Very nice, Jayman! I like your interpretation and I find it humorous you used "Ray" as the name. Very good!

Not enough entries is going on! You want to submit an official entry Corgi?

Where's the Johnny Craig or Jack Davis love?

Last day to get entries in for the contest. Still only two official entries for a shot at the Wonder Comics 18. Thanks to those who have contributed and hopefully we can have some more entries today.

Only two days left for the contest. We only have two official entries and we need more!

It's all fun and stokes the creative fires. Don't be intimidated!
