> know what a no-prize really is ? A free signed comic ?
> A t-shirt ?

the no-prize that i got (from a contest in stan lee's soapbox column in
marvel age) was an empty envelope that had a drawing of the hulk's head in
the corner and said something like "Congratulations! Enclosed is the
Marvel Comics NO-PRIZE which you have won!" 

I took an envelope and drew my head in the corner, and marked it up just
like the no-prize except mine said, "Congratulations! Enclosed is the
NO-THANKS for the NO-PRIZE that I won!" I addressed it to stan lee and
dropped it in the mail. a while later, i got a hand-written letter from
stan saying "i got a real kick out of the NO-THANKS that you awarded me.
just wanted you to know. excelsior! stan lee"
