This magazine is full of win.

I’ve got a copy of the July/August 2008 issue of “Weird Tales” magazine, and it’s looking for a new home. This is an AWESOME issue: Elizabeth Genco talks with Mike Mignola about Hellboy, Kenneth Hite talks about H.P. Lovecraft, plus tons of cool fiction from Nick Mamatas, Peter Atwood, Kelly Barnhill, Norman Spinrad, Ramsey Shehadeh, Adam Corbin Fusco, Mike Allen, Rory Steves and Karen Heuler.

All you’ve got to do is leave a comment on this post between now and September 1, 2008. I’ll pick one lucky winner to receive the magazine. Feel free to pass on the link to your friends, but remember, to qualify, you’ve got to leave a comment on THIS POST!

  25. the comics by Mignolia are great…he knows how to do this very well…however, the last movie with Hellboy was not so impressive …
    and it`s a pitty it`s just one number of the magazine …

  29. Do I increase my odds of winning by posting multiple comments? …I suppose it’s possible I actually decrease my chances, since the host might consider the act infantile. So: this is not an actual comment. I have only one comment on this thread. I suppose I could refrain from clicking the submit button below, that way I wouldn’t risk doubling up my comment quantity, but heck, at least I’ve got the longest comment now in this thread…so…

    Submit.

  30. @Jago: The cover illustration is by Jason Levesque — http://www.stuntkid.com — who, coincidentally, also ended up doing the cover illo for the new Tori Amos Comic Book Tattoo anthology, which included stories by fellow Weird Tales contributors Elizabeth Genco and Star St. Germain.
