:news: Welcome to the SURVIVOR SERIES for Weird War Tales comic covers! :acclaim:

 

 

Here we go again! :whee:

 

For this Survivor Series, we will tear through Weird War Tales. Since there are only 124 issues, I've just taken every cover created and included them here in this post. Many, are from the legendary great, Joe Kubert! The poll is at the bottom of this post. The goal is to determine the greatest Weird War Tales cover ever made. You decide what makes a cover "great". To quickly reduce this to the best of the best covers, we will be voting off our 34 least favorite covers from the list provided. There are a total of 124 covers to start from.

 

Remember, we are voting for the ones that we do not like. Well, our "least favorite", as I mentioned before.

 

These rounds will last 48 hours each. We'll vote off 34 in round 1, 30 in round 2, 30 in round 3, 20 in round 4, 5 in round 5, 2 in round 6, and then pluck off one per round until we have our champion.

 

Even if you're not a fan of this particular genre (war/horror), you can still join in on the fun. (thumbs u I really hope everyone can participate. :wishluck:

 

Chit chat is welcomed and encouraged, so please express your thoughts as the rounds progress.

 

I know this is a lot of books to look at and vote off, so I thank you in advance for your participation.

 

:news: Tip: Some folks have two windows open when voting, one to look at the pretty pictures and one to click the checkboxes on the poll. If you hover your mouse over the pictures, you'll be able to see the name of the book.

 

Thanks everyone, now to the books.....

Lots of work for this one, as the thumbnails are so small.

 

I clicked on one of them and that brought up a full-size scan. Then I cycled through them and started checking off boxes. Not so bad when viewing the larger scans.

You are awesome Andy.

 

Regardless of what Jeffro's says.

Votes in. #1 will always be my favorite.

 

...that shows how different our tastes can be. It was easy for me to vote that one off. It looks like many voters started from the end of the run and worked backwards.... and from my point of view, I definitely see more weaker covers at the end or the run.... but several are exceptional in my opinion....it's a shame to see them systematically voted off (presumably for the sake of convenience...)to leave other less interesting covers in the earlier part of the run (IMHO).....GOD BLESS....

So far only 7 books have "0" votes. I can't help but wonder what changes in the results would occur by voting for our 34 favorites and so on......it might be interesting to see what would happen if the poll was done BOTH ways for the sake of comparison. GOD BLESS....

It was tough. There are some that I let through because of interesting subject matter and / or composition, but it was difficult to separate out those I thought were mediocre : the survivors from that group can be culled next time.

 

I always enjoy looking at Kubert and Kane covers, in particular.

 

Thanks for setting this up, Andy. :)
