The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has been working to insure the First Amendment rights of comic creators and retailers all over the country since 1986. This month,we see the release of their second comic book, Liberty Comics #2, and if you read careful you might just see a message in the stories that are contained herein.
The 10th annual Baltimore Comic-Con took place October 10th and 11th at the Baltimore Convention Center in Maryland. This was my first year attending the show and also marked the first time I would be wearing my Supergirl outfit to a convention (my only other public appearance was at a grand opening of a comic store). I was also pretty excited about Major Spoilers “Spot the cosplayer” contest and wondered if anyone would recognize my boyfriend and I from the site.

This past weekend at the Baltimore Comic Con, attendees were challenged to find Major Spoilers’ own Victoria as she and her boyfriend Brian strolled through the convention center having fun. Those who had their picture taken with the duo, and sent them to us, were entered into a chance to win an Atomic Robo statue. Yesterday, we collected the entries, and drew the name, with Paul Lombard coming out on top as the winner.
Congratulations Paul! And thanks to everyone who entered the contest. For those who didn’t, there is still a chance for you to win even more prizes in the 3rd Annual Major Spoilers Costume Contest. Entries are due October 25, so don’t wait!
Who’s going to the Baltimore Comic Convention this weekend (October 10th and 11th, at the Baltimore Convention Center)? If you are going on Saturday, pay special attention to all the cosplayers in attendance. If you happen to see the “super” Major Spoilers Victoria at the show, sporting her blond locks and Supergirl get up, you just might be able to win an Atomic Robo statue.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Look for Victoria and her BF Brian at the Baltimore Comic Con.
- Get your picture taken with the two of them.
- Send your picture to contest@majorspoilers.com by October 17, 2009, and you’ll be entered to win this most awesome Atomic Robo statue!
- The Major Spoilers Crew will draw the winner on October 20, 2009 during the recording of the Major Spoilers Podcast.
So what are you waiting for? Get your rear end down to the Baltimore Comic-Con, stalk one of the Major Spoilers own, and possibly win the big prize!
