Howdy there readers, have we got some damn good news for you!
You know of Jay Thibault and Richard Serrao, right? They are the guncrazy hepcat Canucks who run Optimum Wound publishing, makers of fine online graphic novels, who are gearing up to take the print world by storm. In fact, their debut anthology, Optimum Wound Volume 1, is set to be released September 9th, 2009. Unfortunately, despite the insane quality of the book, the ladies at Diamond Comics Distribution got their panties in a knot and have unjustly reneged on the deal of carrying the work to your local comic shoppe. So, in our bid to help out some stone solid creators with keeping the independent fires burning, ComicNews.Info is very proud to announce a contest in full cooperation with the gang at Optimum Wound!
The Damn Rules:
All you have to do to enter is send us a 100 word essay, short and bittersweet, on what the idea of independent comics means to you. That’s all. Just one hundred words (or more), but only one entry per fan, please. Speak from the gut. Use foul language if you think it’s necessary, we are all adults and we can take it. Just define what independent comics mean to you (especially in this day and age), in your own words. Email your take to me here at richardcaldwell@comicnews.info, and include your full name, mailing address, and daytime phone number. Winners will be chosen by the full editing team of ComicNews.Info- Gary Rodrigue, Steven Surman, and that Richard Caldwell bastard. Winners will be announced on September 9th, 2009, to coincide with the official release. The deadline will be Monday night (12am Eastern time), September 7th, 2009.
The Damn Prizes:
And what exactly are the possible winnings for your 100 word essay?
One top prize winner will receive a copy of Optimum Wound Volume 1, autographed by the ENTIRE Optimum Wound strikeforce: Jay Thibault, Richard Serrao, Sean Fidler, and Fiona Ho. PLUS a page of original art! PLUS, your entry will be posted here at ComicNews.Info! Write purdy enough, as who knows who will see your thoughts!
Two runners up will EACH receive a copy of Optimum Wound Volume 1, signed by BOTH Jay Thibault and Richard Serrao.
So get chopping already. The contest begins…NOW!
But feel free to order your own copy via the Amazons: RIGHT HERE
