While they were being interviewed by the reporter, I got a candid shot of everyone. Though Spiderman must have sensed the stormtrooper standing nearby with a camera. I highlighted all the characters in case you weren't into comic books as a kid like I was.

Free Comic Book Day: in a bizarre and unprecedented act of Smart Marketing, when the first Spider-Man movie was released the comix industry realized that here was an Opportunity. So on opening weekend, Free Comic Book day was born: a day when (damned-near) every comix shop in the country would have free (free free) comics for all comers, first-come-first served...nearly all of them prepared by their publishers expressly for the event and oftentimes with brand-new content.
It's been repeated every year since then and this year was my first indication that it's starting to become a national holiday for the art form. Many stores hold special events (sales, appearances by artists and authors), even; if I'd gone to a store in Brockton, for example, I could have creeped people out by taking pictures of a womand dressed as Zatanna.
May 5 was also my chance to finally see my usual comix/magazine/nerdpress store's new digs. At the start of the month, The Outer Limits moved just a skosh down Moody Street, one block away from the digs they'd had for nearly two decades.
(And it looks like an upgrade. The block used to be divebar > porn store > Outer Limits. Now they've got a whole corner to themselves.)

Alex was the Sandtrooper at the event and wanted me to take a quick photo with the girls. His father, nor mine were able to attend the event so I guess you can call this a little teasing. ;)

Forgot my phone yesterday so missed out on getting some pics of the R2D2 and a Stormtrooper at my local comic book shop Ebenezers.
Have the diverse elements of any other industry demonstrated such a fine ability to function as a unit for its members' benefit as the creators, publishers, distributors, and sellers of comic books do on Free Comic Book Day?
(OK, yes, the banking industry. And the oil industry. Perhaps I should say "For its own benefit and that of consumers.")
The first Saturday in May -- a date originally chosen to coincide with the opening weekend of the first "Spider-Man" movie -- is Free Comic Book Day at comic book shops everywhere. If you go to your local shop, you can get free comics.
As in: walk in, take comics, leave. Not "...with any purchase," not "...just register with your name, date of birth, and email address." Free comics.
The only "gotcha" is that you can't, you know, come in, smash a locked display case, grab a G/VG-graded copy of Detective Comics #27, and wave to the clerk on your way out. No, there's a specific display of comics that are free for the taking.
And everyone is in on it. The retailers and the publishers alike. Marvel, DC, and most of the smaller publishers even create and print special books just for the event, usually with material for new readers in mind. They give these books to the shops for free and the shops pass the savings on to the consumer.
It's a wonderful idea and I'm glad that it's become an established annual event.
