Free Comic Book Day - Saturday May 5

Dave Jackson of Rockin' Rooster Comics and Games asked that I remind everyone that this Saturday is the National Free Comic Book Day (FCBD)

The industry started this as a way to bring the enjoyment of comics to the masses (and hopefully drum up some new business).  There are a variety of different titles available that vary by store owners.  Rockin' Rooster plans to have 60 different titles available, and allow each person to take up to 5 books. 

In addition to the free books, Rockin' Rooster will have rooms coverted to "Artist Alley" with tables setup for the visiting dignitaries.  According to Dave, "We normally have about 15 or so special guests, and some have reported decent sales and contacts during the event.  This year (so far) we have David Michael Beck; Bill Grapes, writer and artist on "The Infernal Fyre Dragon" ; Rod Fyke, artist and writer on "Peanut, Puddin' & Jelly" for Hazzum Productions" among others
