Writer Eric Hobbes and artist Noel Tuazon are the creative team behind The Broadcast, a new graphic novel about the night Orson Welles terrified radio listeners with his rendition of War of the Worlds (it's also included on our Hottest Graphic Novels of Summer 2010 list). The two creators are sponsoring an interesting contest in promotion of their book. Their book is about a town in rural Indiana that loses power before its residents discover that there is no alien invasion, and the wild events that transpire as a result. In their contest, Hobbes and Tuazon are asking people to submit their own short stories based on that night. All submissions will be looked at by Hobbes, and the winning entry will receive both a signed copy of The Broadcast and an 11" by 17" drawing from Tuazon based on the story. Tuazon is a great artist, so that sketch should be quite an impressive win. Entries should be under 2,500 words and can be submitted through August 30 at broadcastcontest@gmail.com.
