Girls in beauty pageants are sometimes maligned for not having enough brains. But this year, the Phoenix Comicon is holding its inaugural Miss Zombie Beauty pageant, where the contestants are the types who like brains so much, they want to eat yours! WEIRD TALES is proud to sponsor this luscious parade of decomposing pulchritude. The two runners-up, Miss Pathogenic and Miss Congeal-iality, will each receive a copy of Weird Tales: The 21st Century, Vol. 1 and a year’s free subscription to the magazine — but that’s just the beginning! The winning Miss Zombie Beauty herself will be awarded a truly unique prize: a one-of-a-kind, handmade, zombified WEIRD TALES edition called Zombie Love, designed and created by Patricia Lee of Bookwyrms Art with assistance from woodworker Art Drauglis, and collecting Lisa Mantchev’s “Zombi” and Trent Hergenrader’s “Working Out Our Salvation” from issue #344. Never before has there been such a WEIRD TALES artifact! Stay tuned for next week’s announcement of the newly crowned undead queen…
