Because I'm way to lazy to go and find a prize now I will procrastinate and put it on the winnee of my prize.

 

How it will work, you will give me 1 single word. I will put something together that fits that 1 word.

 

For example you could say "Nurse" the package could then contain things like:

Night nurse comics

Comics featuring nurses (I'm pretty sure GFT has some nice covers...no idea if there are any on the inside though )

Covers where someone desperately needs a nurse (like Carl missing an eye)
