Comic Store Owner: "Whadya Mean FREE comic day kid! That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard for stealin!"
You: "But my English teacher said it was free!!!...='''(
In order to avoid the above situation and tremendous embarrassment, let me share with the the beauty that is "Free Comic Day". Every May 1st participating comic book stores will give out single copies of various best selling titles. These often are special prints done just for this day so you can get some unique books that have single run or "0" run stories in them. If you are interested in being a part of Free Comic Day, just cruise by your local comic shop and ask on May 1st. Odds are they will have the books out at a display and you can pick the one you want. Consider it a special "pre-screening" of the next Hollywood blockbuster (lota films in the last 5 years have come exclusively from the comic community!). Either way, it is a lot of fun and a cheap way to pick up a good new habit. I have gone for several years now and take my kids at home. There is a good mix of titles for older readers with several "kid friendly" titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, Owly, and Archie Comics. If you are planning on stopping by, here are some Google directions to my two favorite shops, both in Modesto!
Bonanza Books and Comics
Krier's Cards & Comics
Here is my good friend Hugh Jackman to tell you more about it!
See ya there!
