"No, Albi. You didn't kill me with your dragon flames. I crawled to safety, but you did leave me very badly disfigured," laughed the boy.

Great job! That looks like an old comic book cover from the 50's or before, and it really sets the mood of the story.

I absolutely love it. I'm almost sad now I decided not to go with the superhero story idea I'd been pondering using, because this cover makes me feel all inspired. Ah well, there's always next year!

Now this one I really like. This is a really fun cover! I don't think Action Comics would mind that you ripped off their logo! :)

The iirony of using a Congressman as a superhero is a noseful of wasabi in today's world, and the cover idea conveys that beautifully. The best kind of tongue-in-cheek goodness.

Seems like a real classic. It gets my attention, and makes me really curious about the content of it.

I absolutely love it. All of these covers are so great and... imaginative. You look at the kind of crap that most books have as a cover that just seem like they haven't been thought out at all. But these are so brilliant, and unique, and well, imaginative :P Yeah, I suck at coming up with different words, hence why my NaNo sucks.

<3 Congress Man. That's pretty awesome.
Also, great cover. I work in a comic shop and get to look at these all day. I saw the cover and was trying to figure out what issue it was. Then I paid more attention. Kudos:)
