STAR WARS Graphic Novel Giveaway

Thanks to a donation from a generous Space: 1970 reader, I have extra copies of three Dark Horse Star Wars graphic novels/collections that I'm going to give away to some lucky Star Kid this holiday season. If it all goes smoothly, I may do more of these giveaways in the future.

For this first Space: 1970 Giveaway, I have the 1997 graphic novel adaptation of the first Star Wars movie by writer Bruce Jones and artists Eduardo Barreto and Al Williamson, the 1997 trade paperback of the original Marvel Comics adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back by Archie Goodwin & Al Williamson, and the Star Wars Omnibus Volume Two, which collects issues #28 through #49 of the original Marvel Comics Star Wars comic book series from the 70s-80s. These are not mint condition collectibles, but very good reading copies.

To simplify things, I'll be picking only one winner for all three books.

All you have to do to qualify for the random drawing is a.) be a U.S. resident (sorry!) and b.) send an e-mail containing your name and mailing address to chris@atomicpulp.com with the words "SPACE:1970 GIVEAWAY" in the subject line. One entry will be chosen at random, and I'll mail the graphic novels to the lucky winner. Entries must be received before midnight, Friday, December 14, 2012. The winner will be announced here on Monday the 17th. Good luck!

One entry per person, please. Double entries will be disqualified. Entries that do not follow the above instructions precisely will be disqualified and discarded. A winner will be drawn at random and announced on December 17, 2012. The winner's name will be posted here at space1970.blogspot.com and they will be notified via email. All entries will be deleted immediately after the contest’s close, and no personal information will be retained or transmitted to any third parties. The contest is open to U.S. residents only. Prizes will be shipped via media mail. Unfortunately, Space: 1970 cannot assume responsibility for items lost or damaged in transit.

ADDENDUM: I'm having to discard almost half the entries because people aren't reading the directions closely. You must include your full name and mailing address in your e-mail, or I chuck it. Period.

ADDENDUM II: Sorry for sounding so grumpy above; I was frustrated.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

This blog is dedicated to the science fiction films and television series of the 1970s - give or take a few years (say, 1969-1983) - including such nostalgic favorites as Star Wars, Space: 1999, UFO, Space Academy, the original Battlestar Galactica, Jason of Star Command, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Logan's Run and many others.

But be warned: I still love these productions with all the enthusiasm I held for them as a kid, and they will be treated here with affection and respect. If you're looking for someone to snarkily denigrate "old" movies - or like to do that yourself - you've come to the wrong site.

So journey with us back to the days when special effects were created by skillful hands and spaceships were detailed models, when robots were obligatory comedy relief, when square-jawed heroes and cloaked villains battled among the stars -- and the future was fun!

PLEASE NOTE: I do not sell (nor even buy, all that often) the memorabilia and merchandise I write about on this blog, nor do I have any idea what value your "collectibles" might have. That's not what this site is about, so please don't ask me.
