The purpose and power of Free Comic Book Day
This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day. What I like about this isn't so much that I get free stuff (though I do like that). It's that there's a chance for that free stuff to entice new customers to the medium. I have loved comics since I was a kid, and they're so much more compelling, both in terms of art and storyline today than they were then. Free stuff is a great way for small businesses to bring in new customers, and most comic dealers are small businesses -- standalone specialty shops rather than the corner drugstore where we bought the DC Go-Go Check comics when we were kids. Anyhow, here's what the Web site has to say about it.Comic books are an original American art form, created in the early days of the twentieth century. They are fun to read, featuring a wide range of diverse storylines that capture the imagination of the readers, and have survived: the dominance of radio, the ubiquity of television, the spread of color and sound motion pictures, the rise of videogames, and the Internet. That's worth celebrating in our book, and as this site continues to grow and evolve, you'll see even more information about this wonderful medium. To learn more about comic books and their history, go here.
