[dc]T[/dc]his Saturday, May 4^th is Free Comic Book Day—one of my favorite days of the year. Not just because of the free comics, but because it is a celebration of comics as well.

Meet Local Comic Artists at Clem’s Comics & Games

Better still, I will be one of the local comic artists at the Free Comic Book Day event held at Clem’s Comics & Games in downtown Lansing (216 S Washington Square). Come visit me from 8AM (yes, AM) until 11AM—I technically will be at a table next door, in Downtown Subs (both places will have tables with free comics). I will likely stick around for a bit after my shift ends, if only to bug Ryan Claytor.

Here’s the full local comic artists schedule for Free Comic Book Day at Clem’s Comics & Games:

• 8am-11am: Adam Talley, Sherief AbouElSeoud, and myself.
• 11am-2pm: Kari Smith, Ryan Claytor, Marc Wolfe
• 2pm-5pm: Sherief AbouElSeoud, Adam Talley

Swing through, grab some free stuff and buy one of my minicomics for $1. One of the minicomics is The Proxy storyline, and the other is a brand new minicomic collection of some of my favorite Clattertron strips.

I’ll have copies of The Magic of Eyri for sale too ($20, and includes both minicomics).¹

All of the artists are providing free sketches for kids, in addition to selling their own stuff. Yes, this includes me. I better practice drawing Wolverine and Batman faces.

Free Comic Book Day Deals in Downtown Lansing

Clem’s Comics & Games also features free cookies for comic book fans, door prizes, and special sales. In years past, I never leave with just the free comics. I always end up buying some stuff.

Downtown Subs next door, where I’ll be starting at 8AM until 11AM, is offering a free fountain drink when you show a receipt from Clem’s Comics & Games. For the coffee fans, Decker’s Coffee Company, on the other side of the comic book shop, has a similar deal—a free small coffee with your receipt (I enjoyed this deal last year).

The Force is Strong with Free Comic Book Day

As my fellow Star Wars fans (should) already know, May 4^th is also National Star Wars Day. Like last year’s Free Comic Book Day, members of the Michigan chapter of the 501^st Garrison (the Great Lakes Garrison) will be around in full costume. This group consists of Star Wars fans who share their love of the films by dressing up as characters and making public appearances (especially for charity).

There is plenty in store for Free Comic Book Day at Clem’s Comics & Games, so please swing by and say hi. I might even give you a high-five.
