Chris Mautner in his Everyone’s A Critic blog issued this challenge:
| Quote: |
| Sometime within the month of October, I want you, assuming you blog about comics regularly, or hell, even if you don’t, to write about a long-lost comic book, series, graphic novel, artist, writer or whatever that you feel is criminally underrated or ignored (preferably the latter). The more obscure the better. Genre doesn’t matter, nor does if the book comes from your collection or not, though I would like to see folks pick something a little out of their comfort zones for this. |
He goes on to say that he will "link to any and all who decide to rise to the challenge." There are no prizes. Just "the satisfaction that comes with providing the Internet with some intelligent critical discourse." Though Mautner does hint at the possibility of some sort of small prize.
His whole impetus:

| I want someone to make me jump out of my chair, into my car and go pouring through the back bins of my local shop. I want an excuse to go vainly searching through Alibris. |
What a great idea. So everyone start thinking…
Expect my entry sometime this month.
