Another toughie-- but I'm going to pick #41, *despite* the presence of Catspaw. I like the movement within the images and particularly like the images of Sun Boy and Cosmic Boy. It's not an *exact* homage to the ADVENTURE cover, since it features figures mostly from the waist up, rather than full-body images.
Between the two most similar covers, I'd still pick the 'homage' of 301, due to the inclusion of Jan and Shady and especially lil' leaning Vi. Cham as the main figure instead of Supes is a plus, as is Gim shrinking down from his giant-form? That's my interpretation, anyway.
All the covers make me want to know what each character is up to... why they're separate and what the common thread is.

80, all the way. Girls as victims is so last millenium, and what's with the funky axe-blades on the side of the villain's head? No wonder he can't see Batman behind him, his stupid headgear blocks his peripheral vision!

Despite the Super-panel-hogging being even worse than usual [sheesh, he's even on the BB cover in a blurb!], I've got to go with DCP. It's just got a better composition.

Yes, the first cover is silly and offensive to women.
The second is Supes heavy (understatement!) and silly. Vi shows us way skirts are a bad idea for people who fly, too. But Tinya is cute and so are Jan and Jo!
I vote for the second cover, #80.

I vote for the second cover as well...it features less silly axe-helmets, less damsels in distress, and presents a more intriguing story hook in general. Plus, I really like the way Tinya and Vi's loose-fitting clothes have been portrayed.

I vote for the 2nd one which I'm amazed to say I don't think I've ever seen before.
The artwork and composition are just so much better and no Cosmic Boy in a bustier is an added plus. The only good thing I can say about the first one is that it was Duo Damsel's first cover appearance in a long time.
Both covers are way too blurb heavy.

DC Comics Presents #80 for me. Pretty much for the reasons already given.

The Brave and the Bold cover reminds me of the Dagon/Tryoc cover that we voted on a few rounds ago.
I'm gonna vote for it anyway because it has Cosmic Boy in the lovely black costume that everyone loves so much. Violet and DD are also looking pretty good there.
Surprisingly, Violet is the only one on both covers. And even better, no IMRA on either. I'm shocked.
