Hi! My name is Barry Lyga and I'm the Marketing Communications Manager for Diamond Comic Distributors.
I'm e-mailing you to talk about Free Comic Book Day. You may have heard about this effort already. In fact, you may have already mentioned it to your visitors, for which I thank you.
If you aren't familiar with Free Comic Book Day, here it is in a nutshell: On Saturday, May 4 (the day after the Spider-Man movie opens, and just days before Attack of the Clones opens), comic book stores throughout the world will be giving away free comic books. (Hence the name-very clever, right?)
It's a celebration of comics, a unique art form that we all love for our own reasons. This is our chance to spread the word to the uninitiated that comics are cool.
The comics in question range from Ultimate Spider-Man #1 and a brand-new Attack of the Clones tale (again, clever, no?) to Justice League Adventures, Tomb Raider, and more. More and more publishers are coming on board every day. (You can see a complete list at http://www.freecomicbookday.com/updates.asp.)
Be sure to get your comic that day!!
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
