Free Comic Book Day 2006 Star Wars/Conan Split Issue
Our Star Wars tale "Routine Valor" is set during the Clone Wars and features Commander Cody and his troops in an indefensible position facing an unassailable enemy. Star Wars: Routine Valor features story by Randy Stradley with art by Doug Wheatley.
In the Conan story "The Spear," a sorcerer receives a vision about a tremendous force washing over the world, and decides it's a prophecy ordering him to revive his sleeping god - but he should have considered it fair warning about his own run-in with Conan! "The Spear" features story by Tim Truman with art by Paul Lee and Dave Stewart.

"Based on the feedback we received from retailers, publishers, and fans, last year's Free Comic Book Day was our most successful to date," said Free Comic Book Day Spokesperson Elissa Lynch. "To make this year's even more of a success, we encourage comic fans to spread the word among their friends and family members - especially those who don't normally read comics - and bring them to their favorite participating comic shop on May 6. They'll see that our medium truly offers something for everyone!"....
