How often do you have the chance to create a superhero?
Well, this is it!  Help us to Gear Up the Gay Comic Geek!

The Gay Comic Geek, Fanboys of the Universe and Class Comics have teamed up to
bring you one super contest that will get your (creative) juices flowing!

Your job is to design your vision of a unique costume for the Gay Comic Geek in
whatever format you work best in!

Use Photoshop on the computer, print the entry out and use pencil, ink and markers,
blow it up on a canvas and paint in oil colors, or sew, knit and stitch together felt,
leather and feathers!

The only catch is you have to use the Official Contest Images as the basis for your
costume and submit it electronically.

It’s not just about getting the right color of spandex! There is so much more for you to
be creative with. It’s about developing the alter ego and all the possibilities that come
with it!

Think of the costume emblem, the utility belt, the cape, the rocket launcher, the mask,
the boots, the Geekmobile, the sidekick, the trained pet and all the accessories we
never thought of that would go with the action figure!

There are two contest categories you can enter: “Naughty” and “Nice.” Plus, we have
some wicked prizes up for grabs! But that’s not all! The winning “Naughty”
