It's obvious that i'm just now really getting back into comics, as I had NEVER even knew it existed until receiving a heads-up just today from my man, Tully. Luckily, it's set to go down on 3-May (3 Saturdays from today)...so you and I have time to prepare.An annual event, 7 years in existence, Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book specialty shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their stores. (Unfortunately) that doesn't mean you can just raid the shelves, but rather publishers apply to provide certain promotional comic books and other swag made special for the event at cost to retailers, who in turn give them away for free.
You can see which stores in your area are participating and get the lowdown on some of the comics being given away at the Free Comic Book Day website. This is a really cool concept to provide a warm-fuzzy to hardcore fanboys and introduce newbies to the experience alike...a novel concept in business nowadays.
I'm looking forward to seeing if I can nab the Simpsons book (above) if only for the cover. Doh!
