Five Lucky Fans Will Create Scenes in the Next Emily the Strange Comic Book
Cosmic Debris partners with Brickfish to run "One Dark & Deadly Challenge," an
online campaign to award fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to display their
comic book artistry.
SAN DIEGO --(Business Wire)-- Apr. 26, 2007 Cosmic Debris, publishers of the
infamous Emily the Strange comic book series, announced today a partnership with
Brickfish to award five lucky fans a chance to create scenes for the next Emily
the Strange comic book release titled "The Death Issue," which will be available
in stores September 2007.
"One Dark & Deadly Challenge," which began April 24, 2007, takes place on
Brickfish.com and runs until May 20, 2007. Cosmic Debris is looking for members
of the public to tap their inner ghoul by designing and submitting a chilling
scene that shows imagery of Emily or her cats walking on the Strange Side of
Life & Death. Open to all, Emily buffs can visit Brickfish.com to create, vote,
review and view the entries (as a free registered member or a guest).
The five winners will have their designs featured in the next edition of Emily's
comic book, "The Death Issue," which will be available in stores September 2007.
The first place winner will receive a full-page spread in the issue, with second
to fifth place winners each receiving a quarter-page spread. All winners will
also receive a mention on the website, a signed Emily TPB comic, note pads,
stickers, a deck of cards and an Emily Bendy figure.

Cosmic Debris and Emily the Strange have evolved gradually over the past 13
years. What started on the streets and in nightclubs now appears in high-fashion
magazines worldwide. Emily has achieved street credibility, a cult-like status
and is now an international icon. The first Emily the Strange comic was a
sell-out smash and continues to be a hit with Emily die-hards as well as the
general comic community. For more information on Emily and her cats go to:
