Win a Fables Card Signed by Mark Buckingham and Steve Leialoha

Last Wednesday, we offered fans of Demon Knights, DC Universe Presents and the artists who draw them a chance to win a Deadman card signed by Bernard Chang. The response, unlike Mr. Brand, was anything but dead.

 

Here’s the winning entry photo:

 

CAPTION: Why didn’t I start reading this sooner?!? It’s fantastic!

 

The photo and caption were submitted by @JeremyLivi on Twitter, who along with his new appreciation of Swamp Thing will also be receiving a great new collectible. But if you didn’t win, don’t despair because we’re doing it all over again. If you’re a Vertigo fan, you probably know that FABLES #121 is out this week. This issue wraps up the eight-issue “Cubs in Toyland” storyline that has been brought to vivid life by artists Mark Buckingham and Steve Leialoha. So to celebrate this acclaimed storyline, we’re giving you a chance to win a Fables “Cubs in Toyland” card signed by both amazing artists!

 

 

If you’re new to this, the card is 11” by 14” and is made of heavy card stock. However, if you’d like to get your hands on this ready-for-framing collector’s item, you’re going to need to do a couple things.

 

1) If you're not already doing so, be sure to follow @Vertigo_Comics on Twitter and DC Comics on Instagram.

 

2) Pick up some of your favorite new DC or Vertigo comics on Wednesday and take a photograph of you reading them. (If you can’t make it to a comic shop on Wednesday, a photo of you reading any Vertigo or DC comic will do.)

 

3) Share your picture with us via Instagram and tag @Vertigo_Comics and #newDCday.


That’s all there is to it! At 5 pm PST on Monday, September 24, 2012, one winner will be chosen at random and direct messaged for his/her mailing address. The winner will be featured on Twitter. Vertigo Comics will tweet the winner’s photo and a fan shout out on or around Tuesday, September 25, 2012.
