It’s pretty rare we’ll talk about anything that isn’t audio related here on SFFaudio, but when I hear the words “FREE” and “COMICS” side by side, I’m pretty much sold on the concept. Ya, so about that…
This Saturday is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!
I’ll be stopping in at my local comic shop (Hourglass Comics, in Port Moody, B.C.) on Saturday, picking up the maximum number of FREE COMICS allowable. If it plays out anything like last few FREE COMIC BOOK DAYs I’ve been to I’ll also be spending a few $$ there on some of those unfree comics too.
