Fans of comics enjoyed in an abundance of free issues as retailers in Los Angeles to London has distributed thousands of copies free Saturday for the 10th annual Comic Book day free.
Some early open stores while others arranged way for artists and writers, including such major names as creative leader DC Comics, Geoff Johns, writer Jonathan Hickman Marvel and Joe Hill of IDW, not only show their own titles but autographs and chat with fans on part.
"I think that it is the best single thing retailers and publishers do everything to bring new fans to the environment", said Joe Brusha, who wrote the titles "Grimm fairy tales" and "neverland" for Zenescope Entertainment.
He spent Saturday visiting several comic shops in Pennsylvania participating in Free Comic Book Day.
"I am really looking forward to it this year because we have our Discovery Channel books young readers who really like and I am looking forward to see their response which I hope is very positive," said Brusha.
In England, about 75 people lined up outside the gates of planet prohibited in the theater district of London on the edge of trendy Covent Garden shopping.
After that the doors swung open, the crowd grew to more than 200 to collect their free issues with staff pulling securities of a Fund of wheeled cargo boxes, metal by the meter.
"It is brilliant." "It is also an excellent way to bring new people and to thank the fans who already support the companies,", said Daniel Dovi-Dotse, 24, who bought his first comic when he was 7 years old. "I'm really here to Spider-Man, but there is always a surprise there, one of the Indies." There are a few tricks of great over there.
Professor Martin Fuller introduced almost 3 year-old son Logan, who was wearing a jacket hood with the Superman "S" stamped on the front.
Fuller said that Free Comic Day was the reason why that it led Logan, carrying fans jostled to grasp the books like him.
"I did kill Logan who often because it's hard with the stroller, but you can see he loves watching things here," he said. "I am a primary school teacher, too, and comics are a brilliant way to involve children in reading, especially boys who are not always easy." They are much easier to follow things when they're storyboard, instead of simply written. ?
