This page of Conan is copyright---of course---Marvel Comics.
I’m sure Roy Thomas considers guest writing the Feb.17, 2013 Last Kiss the highlight of his career. But Roy has done a few other things worth mentioning. For instance…
Roy was Stan Lee’s first staff writer in the early years of Marvel Comics. Over the years, Roy wrote everything from Millie the Model to Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos and X-Men.
But Roy’s signature series was Conan the Barbarian. (Although his run on The Avengers was similarly iconic—at least as far as I’m concerned.)
After Stan become publisher, Roy became Marvel’s editor-in-chief.
Later, after Roy left Marvel, he wrote a lot of great comics such as All-Star Squadron, Justice Society of America, Wonder Woman, and the fun and very funny Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew.
Plus…oh, heck. Look it up. It’s an incredible body of award-winning work.
I’m thrilled that Roy took time away from editing Alter Ego Magazine and everything else he does) to write a bit of Last Kiss.
Thanks, Roy!

Feeling funny?
Enter the Last Kiss Couple Up Contest.
The caption contest for lovers!
Funny lovers! Romantic lovers!
And, of course, comic lovers!
Launching a week before Valentine’s Day, the Last Kiss Couple-Up Contest features classic romance art and a deliberately silly caption by Papercutz Editor-in-Chief (and comics legend) Jim Salicrup.
It’s only one panel of art, but that’s part of the challenge. Can you use Salicrup’s caption (featuring a robot spouse) as a starting point and write hilarious dialogue short enough to fit into just a single panel?
This is the first in a series of quarterly Couple-Up celebrity writing contests planned by Last Kiss creator John Lustig.

To win, submit the funniest dialogue for the contest image by Feb. 24, 2013 at 10 p.m. PST.
Submissions must be made on the contest tab of the Last Kiss Facebook page.
You do not have to write dialogue for both word balloons. You can just have the man, the woman or both speak.
Prizes:
On Feb. 27, the winning dialogue will be lettered in the contest comic and posted on GoComics.com/lastkiss and other places where the Last Kiss webcomic appears. The winner’s name will be prominently displayed with the comic.
This instant fame will make you the envy of everyone you’ve ever known—assuming you tell them how cool it is.
You will also receive a high-quality print of your winning comic autographed by John Lustig; plus 10 Last Kiss note cards; and a frankly fabulous print of the infamous Last Kiss gag: “Wonder Woman’s First Hangover.”
At least three runners-up will be selected. Each will receive five Last Kiss note cards.

Ladies, this is why you should always carry a wedding ring AND a marriage certificate—whether you’re married or not. You might have to prove that your fake marriage is real.
Remember. The marriage police are out there…looking for you.
