Looking Ahead: Free Comic Book Day!

Free Comic Book Day is an annual event where comic book publishers present your local comic book dealer with full-color mini-comics to give away for free — Now how cool is that? It takes place on the first Saturday in May, which in this case is May 1st. Inevitably, you can find some cool anthropomorphic titles in among the freebees for the day if you look. This time around, Ape Entertainment Shrek and the Penguins of Madagascar, featuring four stories which preview two of their upcoming comic book titles (guess what they are!). Archai Entertainment also combines two titles, in their case Mouse Guard and Fraggle Rock (!). Archie Comics presents a special free edition of Sonic the Hedgehog, while Top Shelf Productions has a special introduction to Owly and Friends (his friends being Johnny Boo and Korgi). There’s lots more to be found on Free Comic Book Day, but of course supplies are going to be limited! If you want to find out more about the event, check out www.freecomicbookday.com.
