I had an absolutely ridiculous amount of fun reading y’all’s entries for the Archvillain “Be a Superhero” contest. They ranged from heartwarming to hilarious to absurd to outright bizarre, and I loved every last one of them. It was extremely difficult winnowing down the field to only twenty.

But winnow I have! And now you can check out the winners, listed below. Just go to https://barrylyga.com/new/archvillain-pb-contest.html and scroll to the number listed if you want to read each entrant’s terrific super-submission.

Thanks to everyone who entered! The winners will receive a signed paperback edition of Archvillain, and are also entered into a drawing to receive one of five advance copies of Archvillain Book 2: The Mad Mask when it becomes available later this fall!
