Fan Boy and Goth Girl Contest
What Else Would a Comic Book Geek Want?
Author Barry Lyga, whose debut novel The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl (Houghton, 2006) follows the life of Fanboy, a comic book-loving teen who wants just three things in life. One is a Giant-Size X-Men #1 in mint condition, another is a new computer, but the third thing is never revealed to the reader. Lyga is now running a contest on his Web site asking readers to guess what the mysterious third thing is, and explain why Fan Boy wants it. The winner of the contest will receive an iPod, but the type of iPod will be based on the number of entries Lyga receives (50 entries = Shuffle, 51–100 entries = Nano, etc.). The contest, which is currently running, ends February 15.
