I cannot beLIEVE I am voting against a Cockrum/Wildfire cover...
It almost looks like this was a few sketches put together to make a cover...
I mean, Dave Cockrum was overseer of Marvel covers after his X-stint... this man knows covers...
I can hardly believe he intended this for a cover image...

Hands down it has to be Legion Lost for sure.
Dave's Tales cover was just ok ... not one of his finest.

I actually like the Cockrum cover a lot and definitely more than the Coipel one which does nothing for me.

am surprised to find that you did not put a cover of the LSH #296 or 298 (? not sure), which was drawn by Jim Aparo, the voting outcome would probably be different this time.

Like them both, but I'll go with the Coipel because it's more dynamic.

Coipel, for the dramatic look. But it was a tough call for me.

Gonna end this now...
Lost = 16
Tales = 2

Tough one: I like three of the four. Not so crazy about about Secret Origins.
My vote goes to the Special.

Oh Gosh - this is absolutely the hardest one yet! I love all four of them!
I'm actually gonna vote for the Secret Origins one. For the simple reason that there's something happening on that cover.
One of my pet peeves with modern covers is that so many of them are just 'stand and pose' covers. IMO that is SO boring! These ones bring something original to the table though by offering a photo gag and a joke on Superman, and in the B&B case just really well-drawn - which is why I like all of these ones.
But I stil feel I should reward a cover that's trying to tell a story, and that's why I voted for the Secret Origins one.

I vote for Secret Origins, too. Though I don't have Blacula's way with a phrase. I like the quirky layout and how it manages to look vintage and modern at the same time.

I think the Secret Origins is the only one that doesn't treat the Subs as comic losers, but it doesn't have Stone Boy and the rest aren't really well displayed. The Special has Infectious Lass, but this is where I start not liking Giffen's art. The Brave & The Bold is good, but the share the cover with the Inferior Five. The DC Comics Presents cover is missing Night Girl.
Hmm it is between Brave & Bold and DC Comic Presents.
Brave & Bold gets my vote

Though it is fun, the Secret Origins cover is misleading. Had I bought that issue looking for a Dr. Light/Subs fight as well as their origin, I would've been pissed.
Everyone standing around on the B&B cover, which fits because that's pretty much all they did in the story (it was a charming story, don't get it twisted).
The DCCP cover is cute, but the Subs Special has a funny sight gag and a miscolored Infectious Lass.
Even miscolored, Drura trumps.

DCCP. Classic. I would have been better to have Ambush Bug on the cover too, but still great.
