Free (Romance) Comics!

A couple of blogs that I really enjoy in the recent past have offered a free comics stunt. I "won" Epileptic (by David B.) from Yet Another Comics Blog (their monkey covers are tops), and I also got a nice manga book from Tangonat (I'll get around to reading it soon, I promise), and in both cases, it seemed that these people wanted to spread the word on some of the comics they enjoyed.

Well, I'm doing the same.

I'm going to give away a pack including one romance comic from the 50s, 60s, and 70s (and one Charlton, so you can understand why I don't really care for them). I'm not sure what they're going to be, but they'll probably be some half-decent stuff, stuff that I think people who don't regularly read them will enjoy.

Send me an e-mail or post something in the comment section about why you want to read these romance comics. It doesn't have to be a 1,000-word essay, but I also don't want it to be "Put me in the raffle for the comics". Now the winner isn't determed on whether or not they write a good entry; it's more that I want to separate those who want to win from those who just want to enter. All entries will be picked out of a fishbowl by the wife (an unbiased person if I've ever met one). I'd like someone who is truly interested in reading them to get them, and I'd also like for that person to then write why (or why not) they liked them. I'll post that on the blog as well (as long as the winner okays it).

So get to it, people! I know you want to! E-mail me or post something in the comments section. You have 2 weeks (until Sunday, October 23).

I am also interested in this contest and here I shall attempt to explain why. Is it for the chance at free stuff or I'm trying to amase a collection? No, it's because for as long as I've been a comic book fan, I've never read a romance book. Not a single story. How can I call myself a true fan of comics if I haven't experienced all that it has to offer. I am asking for you to help me expand my knowledge.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi what's wrong with this world, man? As a kid i wanted to read true love and romance comics but it wasn't considered 'normal' for a guy so i never did. But reading G.I Joe was considered 'norma' - but is it really? LOVE - is it really a 4 letter word to some? Love to read your comix and thanks for this offer - clive

Old romance comics are my favorite. Too bad I was not able to join this contest. I would like to have my hands on those.
