Simon & Schuster is doing an interesting contest for aspiring comic book creators. They have an author, Matthew Reilly, who is coming out with the sequel to his best-selling novel, The 7 Wonders. The new book is called The 6 Sacred Stones, and the contest is this - they give you an excerpt of the […]

Bumped - I’ve gotten four entries so far, and they’re quite good, but I’d like a couple more before I share them with you folks.
This nice fellow named dogwelder on Flickr decided to re-ink a panel I posted awhile back as an example of how DC had people redraw Kirby’s Superman.
I liked his ink job, […]

All right, comic nerds everywhere, it’s time to answer the questions from my contest. I got 12 entries, which seems to be about the norm for my contests. Maybe someday I’ll have 12 prizes, and then everyone will win!

You know, it’s been a while since I gave away comics, so that means it’s time for another contest. But no panels this time! No, something far more evil lurks below the fold …
Name The 1969 Marvel Bullpen Game!

Okay, layne is doing a neat site where he looks at old Marvel Bullpen Bulletins.
One such Bullpen Bulletin, from 1969, was a gallery of members of Marvel’s famed “Bullpen.” So it struck me as a good game for you all to play (and no looking at his blog for the answers!).
I will list (alphabetically) 16 […]
Heroes Contest Could Be Good

I remember when they first went up, but I totally forgot that they were still doing them, even when the show is on summer break, so check out the Heroes comic series at NBC’s website here.
Meanwhile, NBC is also having a neat-sounding contest for wannabe comic artists, in their own version of the classic […]
Ghost Rider Movie Contest Winners!
- by Brian Cronin
- Tuesday, February 6th, 2007 at 11:33 PM EST
What I did was to use a random number generator from 1-58, with the winners being the folks whose comment matched the numbers that were generated. Amusingly enough, the very first number matched a comment I made!! Of course, that didn’t count, so here are the four winners!
I need contact e-mails from the following four […]

It’s Wednesday, and it’s time to check out the answers to my contest and anoint some winners. Yes, I wanted to have this post up by Monday. But I wanted to alert the winners first, so they had to get back to me. So without further ago, let’s hit the bricks!
I have stuff that you can win!

- Monday, January 15th, 2007 at 2:42 PM EST
It’s contest time again! As you know, sometimes I get free swag from people, and I’m very appreciative for it, because often it’s stuff I missed, so it’s cool to have. Then, sometimes, I get stuff I already own, but that’s cool too, because then I can give it away! So just like last year, I’m […]

This time, I am posting pages from Erik Larsen’s Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Magazine and asking you to tell me which artist drew the page in question! As it is pretty hard (the artists are […]
