GIVE-AWAY: GOLGO 13

GIVE-AWAY: GOLGO 13
It's Spy Vibers appreciation and birthday week, and there are prizes to be won! Today's contest is for the Japanese assassin classic comic, GOLGO 13 vol #2, from VIZ:


Golgo 13

For four decades, Golgo 13 has been the world's greatest assassin for hire--sometimes to settle a private score, and sometimes to change history! His real name and nationality are unknown--but his legend is everywhere. G13 never fails a job, and never sees his clients again--unless they try and betray him!

Golgo 13 began as a serialized comic in Japan in 1969. The stories are gritty and explicit, a kind of Dirty Harry violence with the "love is required whenever he's hired" sexual tone of the 007 assassin, Scaramanga. Vol #2, HYDRA, contains The Deaths of June 3rd, Hydra, and a Golgo 13 file: styles of dress, sex:an overview, methods of contact, favorite things, property and assets, prison record, chronic disease, serious injuries. Contest is open to readers over 18 for explicit content of violence and some nudity. Book is MINT, published in 2000.

TO WIN:
A random drawing will be made on June 20th. To enter, simply post a comment on this announcement at the Spy Vibe blog, telling us what your favorite assassin story is and why. That's it. Good Luck! Stay tuned for more prizes.
