----------2012 FCBDay UPDATE #01.....WHAT is Free Comic Book Day?
Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is an annual 'thank-you' to current readers and 'helper' for those who've only heard about the potential of SEQUENTIAL ART....
Enticing new creators as well as readers into the world of creativity, welcoming back those who've previously enjoyed, and offering a special holiday for fans, it occurs the FIRST SAT OF MAY every year...
......in 2012 terms, that's SAT MAY 5th :o]....
...
...
...
............HELP US SPREAD THE WORD about FREE COMIC BOOK DAY......
“I told two friends about......
...and THEY told two friends,...
….and SO ON, and SO on, and so on.... "
-------From A Catchy 1980'S SHAMPOO COMMERCIAL
THE SHORT.............
For over 10 years, We have made this day EXTRA-SPECIAL by offering even MORE out of a day already PACKED with reasons to get pumped about COMICS, a truely spectacular medium for telling the tales everyone wants to read....
..
..Image Collections FREE COMIC BOOK DAY Event is....
---One of the oldest & largest Free Comic Book Day Events in Canada...

[..........TIMETABLE COMING SOON........]
....Oh,....and yes, there's FREE COMICS!!! [which ones?....SEE BELOW ;o]
.....Sounds like some kind of FUN, yes??
.
THE 'NOT-AS-SHORT'....... ;o)
We thought as long as we are showcasing THE BEST OF THE INDUSTRY, why not put a spotlight on the creators who will make up the foundation of the FUTURE of it....
As we read, we all know there are LEGENDARY WRITERS & ARTISTS [...as well as Inkers, Letterists, Colourists...] who built skyscraping bodies of work over decades which continue to inspire today's output, as well thousands of top-shelf collections and GRAPHIC NOVELS which continue to astound as best-sellers long after their release, but what is the cement that has made all of this possible?...
While billions worldwide [...that's right, the 'B' word!...] have experienced and LOVE the 'complete package' of art intermingled with words taking them into realms different than their own, and millions have laid down their hearts and sentiments on a panelled page to provide it, how is it REALLY so many have seen this medium as worthy as a place for their visions?...
....and...."What-the-heck does THIS long-windedness have to do with getting me my FREE COMICS, anyway!?!?".....
. SAYS.......Don't Forget your CAMERA & a hat on FREE COMIC BOOK DAY.......
