Freeeeee Comic Book Day Part 8

'Freeeeee Comic Book Day' @ Image Part 8:

What’s the big deal about comic books anyway?...

'Comic books' are an original North American art form, created in the early days of the twentieth century.....

Popularized in the 1920's, comics exploded in the 1930's, dominated youth culture in the 1940's, helped facilitate change in the 1960's, became an accepted mainstream medium of relevance in the 1980's, boomed again in the 1990's, and yet today, over 100 years later, are just now capturing their true potential in the minds of those of whom have stories to tell.... 

They are fun to read, featuring a wide range of diverse story lines that capture the imagination of readers all over the world....

"Those who tell the stories rule society."

----Plato

[ Invite All Your Facebook Friends for EXTRA FUN! :o] 

A HUGE THANKS to those above, and everyone else who has been spreading the word about FCBDay through friends, family, school, Facebook & Twitter. Most media are very supportive of local 'good news' stories and it most definitely helps to provide more information to the public.  Feel free to let others in on the news....
 
As always, we will keep you up to date...still, don't hesitate to ask us questions, share ideas, or get our opinions on anything....we can't say for sure it will be of any help [it IS us after all :o], but it may provide you with some food for thought.

We are still looking for more volunteers and/or helpers.. [call us at 905-542-8307] ...we can't do it all...IT TAKES YOU to make an event, especially a FREE event!

 
 THANKS for reading this, and we hope you are looking forward to Free Comic Book Day 2011on Saturday May 7th as much as we are....

...and THEY told two friends,... 
….and SO ON, and so on, and so on.... "
