Tough to choose, and interesting seeing them all as thumbnails which really emphasises which covers had punch.

1. 1925
2. 1915
3. 1946

I also loved Henry Flint's cover to prog 1947. He doesn't get given enough covers for my liking. Actually I'd happily see the whole prog drawn by him.

Here we go
1. 1946 - Dark Stars Rising
2. 1952 - Suspended Sentence
3. 1925 - Force of Nature
It's a joke. I was joking.

'Life isn't divided into genres. It's a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel ... with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.' - Alan Moore

I, Cosh

01. 1941 - Tiernen Trevallion. Absolutely adore this. The way it manages to evoke a sense of dread from a quiet story-related moment is quite something. And it has a funny duck. Like somebody else said, this has been my cover of the year since the minute I saw it.

02. 1944 - Cliff Robinson. My real second favourite is Tiernen's other Absalom cover, but I've decided to be harsh about this. Again, this is a cover which conveys something key to the story inside and it was really nice to see Cliff unleashing his lovely details on something other than Dredd.

03. 1950 - Chris Burnham. Clever, effective, wonderfully implemented. I'm a big fan of the lad so I hope Tharg is able to get some more out of him next year.

HM: Leigh's 1952 was a lovely bit of work, adapting the vague theme of a number of the older Defoe covers and I loved the colour placement in Mark Harrison's 1928 effort.
We never really die.

Satanist

1st = 1915
2nd = 1941
3rd = 1950

but it was tough as there's a lot of great covers by talented peeps in there.
Hmm, just pretend I wrote something witty eh?
