Thanks For A Great Free Comic Book Day!
Thanks to all of you that came out to Famous Faces & Funnies
for Free Comic Book Day to make this year's event our best one
yet. I really appreciate all of you coming out and your help
in spreading the word about our big day. Everyone had a great
time and we were able to give away some great prizes and gift
certificates throughout the day.
Thanks again to our special guests for really doing a great
job this year.
Thanks to longtime friends of the shop Derec Donovan and Karl
Moline for drawing sketches all day and donating some great
original art for our grand prize. www.DerecDonovan.com
Thanks to Terry Cronin and Pat Martin of the Students of the
Unusual and the Melbourne Independent Film Festival for giving
away copies of their great horror comic and for all their help
promoting FCBD. www.studentsoftheunusual.com
Thanks to Jeff Christiansen for asking and answering some great
Marvel trivia questions and giving away and signing copies of
The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/
Thanks to local artist Joe Kuzma for drawing up a storm and
giving out tons of great sketches throughout the day.
Thanks to local artist Jules Rivera from online comic Marsh
Rocket for also drawing sketches and giving out free copies
of her book and posters. Check out her free online comic at
www.Marsh-Rocket.com
Thanks to Jon Leebrick for designing our flyer and artwork
for the event.
Thanks to Rob E. Lowe for handling our website.
Thanks to Bat-Duckles for making an appearance.
Thanks to Cinemaworld for helping us promote Free Comic Book
Day and for giving away Spider-Man comics this weekend to the
first 5000 people who saw Spider-Man 3. Don't forget, you can
bring a Cinemaworld Spider-Man 3 ticket stub into Famous Faces
throughout the entire month of May to receive 25% off your entire
purchase that day! Thanks especially to David Fennell who has
really been great about helping us set up promotions with the
theater. www.CinemaworldOnline.com
And an extra special thanks goes out to our very own Spider-Man
and the Daily Bugle's rising star photographer Tracy for taking
hundreds of pictures with fans at Cinemaworld and at Free Comic
Book Day. The rest of the pictures will soon be up at www.FamousFacesAndFunnies.com
so you can download your photos with Spider-Man there. Spider-Man
went above and beyond by making sure that everyone that wanted
a photo got one. He put an insane amount of hours in both at
the store and at Cinemaworld this week, and I'm very grateful
to both Spider-Man and Tracy for all their help this week.
I hope you had fun at Free Comic Book Day and we look forward
to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Rick Shea
