Winners' Gallery: The Best of Contest 98

Like the Super Friends, the Green Lantern Corps, and the New Mutants combined, the heroes of the Wootiverse united to meet last week's challenge: Alter an existing comic-book cover so that it's named after and features a product we've sold on Woot. Behold the gallery of triumphant, valiant champions:

First Prize - $100
KMA2 - Ultimate Flex-Man
Able to reach remote USB ports in a single flex.

Second Prize - $50
mnementh - The Unsellable Puck
The signature is a nice touch.

Third Prize - $20 (tie)
tgentry - Smellboy
A very mediocre odor eliminator yields a very un-mediocre entry.

Third Prize - $20 (tie)
twallis - Proscan
Yes, the original image was an actual comic book cover.

Honorable Mention

Bitten by a radioactive paper bag, were we?

Heart monitoring was never so exxxtreme.

soothedbyrainfall - Woot of Evil
The best of a series - check out the others here, here, and here.

Alan Moore has already denounced this entry as untrue to his original vision.

Anthroponym - Winosaur
Drunk animals are funny.

woohooty - Trackside
R. Crumb and NASCAR: two opposing poles of American culture, together at last.

Josephus - RIO
Our old pal ROM: SPACEKNIGHT probably saw more action in this contest than he has anywhere else in years.

ambydarlin - Saitek Surfer
A well-done logo goes a long way.

SailorSpoon - Sip City
Well played, SailorSpoon.

Champions' Championship Champion
kleucht - Navman
Did somebody forget to color in Wonder Warrior, or does he just have a thing for white tights?

You know, we're so psyched about the success of this contest that we're loath to harsh the mellow by making fun of somebody. So we're gonna skip the Monkey Prize this week, to maintain the feelgood vibe. If you created a money-winning entry, please email your Paypal info to jtoon@woot.com. Honorable Mentioneers may use coupon code HONMEN-FS for free shipping on a future order. Until next time, remember: the Woot contest judges are a superstitious, cowardly lot.
