HarperCollins Canada is launching their "Pop Culture" email newsletter with a contest. Subscribe to their newsletter and you could win a "Pop Culture Prize Pack" consisting of one signed copy of Warren Ellis' new book, Crooked Little Vein as well as a limited Crooked Little Vein t-shirt! Also included in the pack is Neil Gaiman's Stardust, Scott McCloud's Making Comics, Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union and My Dead Girlfriend by Eric Wight.
