Win one of 10 limited edition “Heroes” 2007 comic book, which comes in a collector’s hard plastic case.

This issue includes an interview with ‘Heroes” creator Tim Kring done by Eisner Award winning writer and “Heroes” Co-Executive Producer Jeph Loeb on the eve of shooting Episode#1 of the second season!

Fudge doesn’t believe in making you work too hard for anything, so to those who would love to get their hands on one of these comic books, the contest details are on page 50 of Fudge Magazine’s December issue, featuring alternate covers, Chicosci and Click Five.

Oh, one catch: to claim the comic book, the winner must present a valid ID and his/her copy of Fudge magazine at the Fudge office (address in the mag, kids!).
