322- can't help thinking about later characterizations of Proty and how that sentient felt about being a member of the Super-Pets.
Why are Comet and Beppo given 'superhorse and supermonkey' signs, while Krypto and Streaky get their actual names on the placards in front of their 'desks'?
For a micro-second there, I thought Superboy was trying out for the LSP! I've forgotten- did Proty beat out other candidates for membership? What were the rejects like, if so?
364- How come Streaky didn't have an opponent? There's not much room... but the superkitty could've had Shrinking Violet or a shrunken Cham dangling from his mouth or claws or something.
This morning, I'll go with Coppertone Cos and the revolting Super-Pets. Tomorrow, it could go the other way.

How about Comet, who's really a centaur trapped in horse form?

#364 - and even though I love the homage, I'm kinda over it. I have similar feelings about the Superman holding Supergirl's dead body and the New Teen Titans #1 homages.
Also, seeing Krypto bite at Rokk's butt amuses me...

What I love most is that both covers are dead serious!! Not camp, not played for laughs.(although I would imagine someone found them funny, even back then)
I vote #364. It's dynamic, and the way the characters are placed makes your eyes go in a circle to absorb all the action taking place.

Yeah, 364 for Cos gettin' the Coppertone treatment! It'd be even funnier if a little butthair was visible or he had a funny tattoo or something! As it is colored, it's not even clear if it's his tighty-whities underneath! (Oh you just KNOW Cos wears 'em!  ) Woulda been funnier if they showed underwear or a nekkid butt or if Beppo was throwing poo at Imra instead, but it was the Silver Age!
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

364, for the action. The eye is expertly guided along, taking it all in, even though a lot is happening.
I do like both covers, though, and almost voted for 322. Even though they seem campy now, the deadly seriousness of both covers was not an accident. They were from an era in which imagination in comics was encouraged to take on any form.

364.
The other one should be titled 'Super-Pet Bukkake!' or something.
"Wow, this initiation is kinda gross," Kal thinks. "But it'll all be worth it when I'm a Phi Kappa Delta!"

I like #322 because it shows the whole roster of LSP....where's Streaky and Proty on the cover of #364. Vote: #322

Not nearly as lopsided as 50 foot Glorith, but I think it's safe to call: 322: 8 votes 364: 13 votes violence trumps bukkake! ATTN: Voters! I read and enjoy all comments as they are made but sometimes during the tallying process there's not a real clear choice made and I end up guessing which cover you choose by how your words 'read' to me. So help your ol' pal MLLASH out by being sure to SPECIFY either by issue # or cover image which one you want to get your votes!  next FACE-OFF coming shortly...

I'll pick WF, too, mainly 'cause it has more characters on it. I think it would have been a better cover if Superman was in Composite Superman's other hand, to match Batman clutched in C.S.'s right hand as seen in the image.
I like the idea of the SUPERBOY cover, but I literally can't stand when Cham goes all Elastic Lad instead of changing to actual creatures/beings. Ick.

I gotta go with Superboy with this one. I love that cover. The other one would probably win most contests...but not this one.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.
