I was going to go with #366, as I like the more detailed art and the upward angle. However, I was touched by Exnihil's story and it's his birthday. I vote #353.

In this ongoing Face-Off, we will ultimately determine Legion World's choice for FAVE FATAL 5 COVER!
To get the ball rolling, there will be 4 Face-offs with 2 covers duking it out in each round (8 covers in all).
Once those 4 winners are chosen, they will go at it in for the ultimate championship in a slam-bang orgy of blood and violence. Or something. Anyhoo, it'll be fun!
I have already chosen the 8 covers. Please be aware I realize there have been certain Fatal 5 covers left out. Forgive me if I left your favorite out.
ROUND ONE!! Which of these ADVENTURE issues featuring the F5 gets YOUR vote???

Tough call, as both covers have strengths and weaknesses. The boxing ring set up on # 366 does look silly, yet the composition is much better than # 353's. The earlier cover features Ferro Lad, but it doesn't convey much emotion (apart from the blurb telling me how shocked I will be); the later cover is much more subtle in its appeal: the lighting, the camera angle, the facial expressions create a feeling of seriousness despite the boxing ring. I'd be more apt to read # 366 based on those factors alone.
So, for that reason, my vote goes to # 366.

Love both, but have to go with Neal Adams on #366.

I was wondering myself if that was the first such blurb in comics...
