Back in January, we had the opportunity to speak with comic book legend Jim Lee about the launch of DC Universe Online. As the co-publisher of DC Comics and executive creative director for the MMO, he hinted at the time that he would love to give lucky players the chance to have their in-game characters featured in the pages of the DC Universe Online Legends comic. Seven months later, it looks like that plan has become a reality.

Sony Online Entertainment is currently asking for players to submit screenshots and descriptions of their in-game heroes for a chance to have their creations appear in the comic series based on the game. The deadline is Thursday, August 4 at 6 p.m. PDT, so act fast! There will be more chances in the coming weeks for both heroes and villains to show their stuff, so keep an eye out for future contests.

If you're interested in checking out the DC Universe Online Legends comic, issue #13 goes on sale tomorrow, August 3.
