Flash and Green Lantern for me. Brave and the Bold shouldn't be there either, IMHO. Showcase #29 for the win?

 

Woot! Go Canada!!

I can't believe that GL 8 made it this far.

I still can't believe we have a Sea Devils cover left.

That Sea Devils is by far the best cover remaining. I look at the others and go

Sea Devils? I cant even see them in front of the seahorse...

 

 

This is when these contests get frustrating for me cause IMO its GL8 hands down, but so many of you guys like stuff I think is mediocre...

[Subliminal]

Of what is remaining I think the best is the MIS 90.

 

Its at this point where we have to mourn our losses and pick a hero from those that avoided the headshots so far in the contest.

[Aman619]

I dont like MIS 90. Its a classic layout, but the coloring kills it for me. GL8 is mesmerizing, GLS posture is unique. And the red/yellow blend is powerfully attractive to me. Flash 123 is my second of whats left.. And Ive grown to respect BB28.

Oh, look...the two best covers have the most votes...

 

Imagine that.

I got all five last round. Not one of them is my favorite silver age dc though.

What's with all the bubbles on the Sea-chunk Devils cover? Did King Poseidon fart?

 

And what's he shooting out of his belt buckle...at least I hope it's from his buckle...?

GL 8 is the best left, imo...

[Zonker]

I'm really surprised Showcase #34 didn't make it to the top 5.

[thirdgreenham]

Can anyone tell me the artists for the 5 books above?

 

Thanks,

The covers?

 

Showcase Sea Devils is Russ Heath

Green Lantern is Gil Kane

Flash is Carmine Infantino

Mystery in Space is Infantino

B&B JLA is (I think?) Mike Sekowsky inked I believe by Murphy Anderson

I think the MIS 90 is Murphy Anderson....I think ?

[Aman619]

BB28 is Infantino pencils. almost positive.

[Aman619]

but WW and GL are definitely Sekowsky style -- clunky and big waisted!

[Aman619]

Oh, look...the two best covers have the most votes...

 

Imagine that.

 

 

no accounting for taste...

[JLA_ALL_THE_WAY]

I'm really surprised Showcase #34 didn't make it to the top 5.

 

Vince showed his support (in Round 7) for this cover specifically, so...

 

Talk about the kiss of death.
