In case you haven’t seen the news yet, Publishers Weekly has the confirmation that Virgin Comics has for all intents and purposes shuttered its doors.

What does that mean to YOU, oh comics fan of discriminating taste and exceptional hygiene?

It means that if you had any interest in Virgin titles, now may be the time to pick some up. Here’s the listing for Virgin Comics here at HeavyInk; I’d also recommend highly perhaps their highest-profile title from the comics community perspective, the seven-issue Dan Dare miniseries by Garth Ennis and Gary Erskine.

HI is out of #1 and #2, and I must’ve bought one of their last copies of #3, but #4-7 seem to be available…I expect some of their more highly regarded efforts to become quite collectible in the weeks to come, so if you’re interested, I suggest you act now.

Virgin Comics is giving away the chance to be a REAL COMIC BOOK CHARACTER. Not like those fake ones, your Batmans or Spider-Mans or Zots. No, you will REALLY BE A REAL-LIFE COMIC BOOK CHARACTER IN A REAL LIFE COMIC.

Here’s the PR. Good luck!

Have you always aspired for comic book immortality? Well, here is your big break! To celebrate this fall’s debut of the highly anticipated new Virgin Comics series Nowhere Man, from the creative team of Hugh Jackman, Marc Guggenheim and Paul Gulacy, Virgin Comics is giving 5 randomly selected winners a chance to be a real Nowhere Man (or woman) and get drawn into an issue!!

Will you be a government agent? A bad-ass assassin? You’ll have to win to find out. Not only will you appear in an issue, but Hugh Jackman, Marc Guggenheim and Paul Gulacy will all personally autograph the copy of the issue that you appear in!

And if you’re not one of the few lucky winners, don’t worry… you could always be one of the ten runner-ups to receive a copy of Nowhere Man #1 autographed by Hugh Jackman!

Enter now at www.virgincomics.com/nowhereman or send an e-mail to nowhereman@virgincomics.com with DRAW ME as the subject. The contest runs through September 15th, 2008.

Nowhere Man takes place 500 years in the future, when the Earth’s population has been infected with a virus that allows an oppressive government to monitor their thoughts. It’s the Patriot Act gone haywire. But a group of rebels have engineered the ultimate weapon: a genetically altered child, born immune to the virus. He’s the only one on the planet who can bring some semblance of privacy and individuality back to the world. He is the Nowhere Man.
