Posted on March 19, 2014 by Leroy Brown

Congrats to Eddy Obomsawin of Quebec, for winning the first prize in ourBelgium Comics Contest last month! Eddy answered the tricky question of naming all the characters in the drawing below in French! (I guess he had a little advantage of being in a French speaking part of the country 😉 His prize was a signed ICECUBES book. Thanks for sending us the picture Eddy! 🙂

Super Comics Contest Special Prize!

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Leroy Brown

Thomas Baer is our Special Prize winner! He wins a Limited Numbered Artist Edition of ICECUBES the comic book! Congratulations!

Monday’s contest was so successful and exciting, that I’ve decided to extend it and add a special prize! Folks, this one is a little bit harder and that’s because the special prize is a limited numbered Artist Edition of ICECUBES the book! There are very few left of the original 200 numbered artist edition copies and you can win one!

So to recap, we are celebrating the wonderful contribution of Belgian artists to the world of comics. Many world famous cartoon and comics characters have come from Belgium. Now that you know the answers to the first 3 questions (read Monday’s post here) try to answer these tricky ones:

These 2 famous Belgian comics characters headlined their very own popular comics magazines. What are the names of these magazines in Flemish?

and

These famous cartoon characters were all created by a group of artists who created a distinct style of Belgian comics. This style, or ‘school’ is named after which town in Belgium?

The first one who answers both questions correctly in the comments section below, wins the limited edtion ICECUBES the comic book! Good luck! 🙂

Super Comics Contest Give-Away!

Posted on February 3, 2014 by Leroy Brown

Congratulations to the winners!

1st Prize: Eddy Obomsawin

2nd Prize: Michael Pohrer

3rd Prize Louis J Gore

Great job! Check tomorrow’s update for a chance to win the special prize!

Bonjour comic fans! Last week a cool thing happened at ICECUBES. The website got a bunch of visitors from Belgium! Belgium came in third place for most visits by country. That title is usually reserved for the UK or Australia, as ICECUBES is an English speaking comic. Belgium beat them this week! You may know that Belgium is the birthplace of the European School of Comics. Started just before WWII, the school flourished in the post-war period with many international comic stars.

To celebrate this, I’ve decided to start a week-long contest to see who knows their Belgian comics! So here goes: be the first person to answer the challenge (one prize per person please!)

Third Prize:

Won by Louis J.! A cool ICECUBES sticker! Question: Name all the comics shown in this picture.

Second Prize:

Won by Michael Pohrer!An original signed ICECUBES drawing by Leroy Brown! Question: Name the original authors of every comic.

First Prize:

Won by Eddy Obomsawin! A signed copy of ICECUBES the book! Question: Name all the characters (including animals) in French. (For the little blue guys, the group name is fine)

I will give out a bonus prize of an ICECUBES sticker to anyone who logs in from Belgium and names the characters in Flemish!

Put your answers in the comments sections below. May the games begin! 🙂
