James Sime emailed us the artwork for Isotope Comics’ exclusive Fables wine glass, which they are giving out to ten lucky winners of their Ultimate Fables Fantasy Contest. While the contest ties into Bill Willingham’s appearance at the store this Saturday, anyone with an internet connection can enter and win:
Entry in this competition is deceptively simple: tell the Isotope why you’re biggest Fables fan in the world in five sentences or less. Could it really be that easy? “For the most creative Fables fans out there, yes it can!” Sime replied. But with so little room to make your case, the Isotope proprietor encourages entrants to make every word count, “Anyone can write a 90 words or less essay on why they’re the biggest Fables fan, but it’s a real challenge to do it in five sentences or less! ”
A limited number of wine glasses will be made specifically for the event and for those who enter the competition. Featuring artwork by Willingham, these drinking vessels will bring true wine sipping joy to those who are lucky enough to win one, perfect for enjoying with any Fables issue or graphic novel! The Isotope will be mailing these glasses out to ten competition winners anywhere on the planet.
And one lucky San Francisco Bay Area winner and their guest will be treated to an intimate evening at one of the city’s finest restaurants with the Fables author himself. “We’re going to do this in high style!” Sime said with a grin, “So if you think you’ve got what it takes to win this, clear your Friday the 26th schedule, get your swankiest outfit, and call your best guy or gal companion. We’re going to rock your world.” The very idea brought a smile to author Bill Willingham’s face, “The contest sounds fun, I’ll be happy to go to some fancy Friday night rewards dinner with the winner!”

Does the dinner include the chance to punch him in the gut on behalf of Leslie Thompkins?

“Anyone can write a 90 words or less essay on why they’re the biggest Fables fan, but it’s a real challenge to do it in five sentences or less!”
But five sentences can be more than 90 words long.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that.
