SDCC’09: You can be in an Archie Comic

Posted on by

Those attending the San Diego Comic-Con next week can enter for a chance to be drawn in an upcoming issue of Archie Comics.

Archie Comics will be giving away a Grand Prize at the San Diego Comic Con with one lucky winner appearing in a future Archie Comic, drawn by a famous Archie comic book artist! Names will be collected during the “Archie Comics: Archie Marries Veronica Panel” on Thursday July 23rd, 11:30-12:30 in Room 4. New Archie Comics co-CEO Jon Goldwater will pick the winner at the end of the panel. That person will be photographed to have their likeness included in a story where they get to meet Archie and his pals ‘n’ gals!

Considering this panel takes place at the same time as the Disney 3D, Middleman, and World of Warcraft panels, there’s probably a pretty good chance of winning.  I wonder if Julian will try to win, wearing a Major Spoilers T-shirt?

Oh boy, did we get a lot of people entering the second annual Major Spoilers Costume Contest.  There were over 50 entries from 20 entrants (yes, some people entered multiple times).  Personally, I think all those who entered the contest deserve kudos for taking the time to make their costume and sending it out for the world to see.  You can tell some of the entrants spent a great deal of time on their costumes, and really get into their work.

Without further ado, take the jump to see all the entrants for this year’s contest.

UPDATE:  Voting is now open!

UPDATE #2:  WINNER ANNOUNCED!

For the 2nd Annual Major Spoilers Costume Contest, Major Spoilers went all out to get two great prizes for the big winner – the Hellboy Animated Maquette, and the Library edition of the the first volume of Hellboy.  Both of these great prizes, and all you have to do is dress up in your comic book (and related) costume and snap a few pictures of yourself.

Here are the rules:

  1. Dress up in your favorite comic book costume
  2. Take several pictures of yourself in costume
  3. Take at least one picture of yourself in your street clothes
  4. Send those pictures to contest@majorspoilers.com by October 21, 2008.
  5. Sit back and see if you are selected as one of the top five entries.
  6. If you are nervous, enter more than one costume.
  7. The contest is open to anyone in the world, although you will be responsible for any import taxes when the prize crosses the border.

On or around October 21, 2008, the Major Spoilers crew will narrow down the entries to the top 5 (oh please let there be five entries), and post those entrants on this site.  Then, we’ll let the readers decide who should walk away with the grand prize, which will be announced on October 31, 2008.

Get those entries in soon!  You can’t win, if you don’t play!
