Doh, this round is going to be much tougher.  30 or 97?  30 or 97?

How about 23?  Joe looks plenty tough on that cover!   

[IanR]

#30 wins by a country mile, as far as I'm concerned anyway! 

[Lola]

Hard choice, I went with #34 in the end.

[whitetigers]

I went with 34.

I much like 30!!! Much Much!

I liked #30.  It has a highly mysterious quality to it.

As a point of interest, here is the UK version of #33, which was painted by Richard Jones:

Very similar with one exception, the age of the boys.  They look like 19-25 year olds in the US version as compared to 1-15 year olds in the UK version.

I think Skywarp would be a good model for Frank Hardy!

Wow! Awesome pic.  I like the UK version better.  I don't know, sometimes I think that the pictures of the Hardy Boys sometimes make them look older that they actually are.  They are only 17 and 18.  On T.V. the actors that play teenagers are usually a lot older.
