Free Comic Book Day Reports
:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/08/2007 05:30:00 AM Free Comic Book Day took place last Saturday. I was at the Clothing Show so I missed out on the festivities (I was also away from my computing machine and missed the reminder about the Paradise Comics event from Kevin Boyd --sorry Kevin). FCBD is like a big world-wide comic book convention. The Clothing Show is sort of like a comic book convention, except with lots of fashion-obsessed women instead of cosplayers and comic book fans. I only spotted a few young women in Supergirl & Wonder Women t-shirts, one joker in a West Coast Avengers tee, the now ubiquitous "I Love You! I Know!" gay Batman and Robin image, and this leather masterpiece from the kids at MonsterMuffin:
As for the rest of Canada, Free Comic Book Day went something like this:
-Michael Cho blogs his day at the Beguiling, including his super-awesome page from the Comics Festival comic
-Jason Truong manages to hit almost every major signing in Toronto
-John Gallant hits a few stores in Vancouver
-this fan of My Chemical Romance talks about how a comic book written by a rock star can pack in the crowds in Montreal
-Rachelle Goguen writes a funny report (with photos!) of the signing at Strange Adventures in Halifax with Andy Runton, Darwyn Cooke, et al
-a report about the Happy Harbour event in Edmonton contains a collage of Buddhist comic book characters
