Title: The Greatest Cover Ever: Round Four.
Post by: W. R. Logan on 18 April, 2003, 07:26:23 AM
Round Four:
Doesn?t time fly by when you?re having fun, so stop it at once and get on with the serious matter of voting.
We head into round Four and I?m afraid things don?t get any easier, by now you?ve been wrestling with your choices before posting your decision into voting HQ, but with Round Four things start to get tougher so??

??.. ?Lets get ready to RRRUUUUUMMMMMMBBBBLLLLEEE!!!!!!!!?

2000 really hits its stride and for the next few years produces covers that will bring tears to many a readers eye when they think back to those more innocent times when 2000AD was truly Thrill Powered. More Dredd than you can shake a day stick at, with covers by McMahon, Smith and Bolland. Covers featuring The Stainless Steel Rat, The Angel Gang, The V.C.?s, Comic Rock, Nemesis, Strontium Dog and a Droids sacrifice, it just makes you want to dig those issues out and read them, but before anyone does that, vote for the best cover, it wont be easy.

The Greatest Cover Ever: Round Four:

La Placa Rifa,

Once again I reiterate that its not to late to get involved, there?s plenty of rounds left to go and this isn?t for the faint hearted or weak of mind. Plenty of stamina is needed to cope with the mighty battles that one must face when deciding what is the best cover from the selection of 50 laid out in front of you. Many a loyal Squaxx will fall by the way side between now and the final round but the battled scared members of the board who are tough enough will make it to the end.
The links to the previous rounds are below and if you take part in all the rounds and your name is drawn from the Judge Dredd beanie, then a prize will be yours. Details of the Prize will be given soon.

To be honest I have so many from this range voted at 10, that picking any one is something of a farce.

170 for me, out of a number of greats - it sums up everything that should be on a cover - intrigue, lunacy and death!
