The Grand Prize sounds pretty awesome. If the winner ever did make in into a Marvel comic, I wonder which one?<br />The "This comic could be worth $2,500 to you" ads, however, drive me crazy. Whenever I see that banner, all I can think of is how it messed up the cover of Uncanny X-Men #137, the death of Phoenix.

I've never heard of Milk Duds and Zagnut but I'm sure they're yummy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
