Want Jim Lee’s ‘Green Lantern No. 50’ Original Art? Follow Alex Segura On Twitter

Superstar DC Comics artist and Wildstorm editor Jim Lee is giving away the original cover artwork of Green Lantern #50 to one lucky fan on micro-blogging site Twitter.

After DC Comics official blogger Alex Segura commented about the lack of followers he had on the service, Lee (along with Geoff Johns) undertook a mini campaign to get the word out to the Twitterverse. If Alex [@alex_segura] gets to 1,500 follows before Sunday at midnight (PST), Lee will send the yet-to-be-touched-up cover art to one lucky fan. Others will have a chance to snag some unreleased Batman sketches from the popular “Hush” story arc Lee did with writer Jeff Loeb.

So this is all great but you may be asking, Who exactly is Alex Segura? Well, the short answer is he’s the official DC Comics Blogger for DC’s The Source and online publicist. The slightly longer answer is that he knows a bunch of rad stuff about the DC universe that none of us do and probably things about Marvel’s as well since his roommate happens to be ultra geek Agent_M a.k.a. Editor of Marvel.com Ryan Penagos.

So in short, if you’re on Twitter and you like comics, you should already be following @alex_segura. Additionally, you might even get some sweet original artwork, so get to it.

UPDATE: In the time it took to get this article published, Alex jumped 200+ geek followers. Never Doubt the power of a Geoff Johns/Jim Lee Campaign.
