SPY VIBE CONTEST

Greetings Spy Vibers! The essentials from my glass lair are packed and I'm heading off to Pulpfest and all points east. While I'm away on the mission readers have a chance to win some cool prizes! All you have to do is send an e-mail to spy vibe[at]gmail.com with the prize title in the subject heading and your name and address. I will choose winners in a random drawing on August 16th. You can enter for more than one prize, but each entry must be a separate e-mail. Good luck! Prizes listed below.

Pulpfest will be an immersion into the world of classic and modern popular fiction, cliffhanger serials, radio shows, and old books and comics. I will try to post some images from the field! Readers looking for their daily dose of Spy Vibe might want to check out some of our favorite interviews with writers, artists, designers, and...
