What cover or splash should I recreate?

I feel like recreating a Golden Age comic cover/splash in my own style. I am looking for suggestions. I like horror and sci fi but I am open to most anything!

I will be doing it in a realistic style, while staying true to the original. I will be doing it in charcoal.

Whosever suggestion I choose gets to keep the original finished piece!

 

Here are some things have I have done in the past. 

Thanks!

If you are dead set on recreating a cover and based on you beautiful color pieces, I would say Marvel Comics 1 but I am actually going to suggest don't do a cover, do an interior splash from a Timely, maybe even a two page splash. There are several other hat have been posted in the past that are beyond incredible.

Also please post pictures of suggestions, especially if its a splash that why I can judge faster if its something I want to do.

Too many eerie pre-code horror covers to choose from like Strange Stories cover painted by Saunders. Would recommend the classic Mysterious Adventures 'Here's your Bill' bowling skull cover:
