Free Comic Book Day and Capital City Comic Con This Weekend
[dc]T[/dc]his Saturday, May 2nd , is Free Comic Book Day. I wrote earlier about my plans for the day, and Sunday at Capital City Comic Con, so here is a quick re-cap.
Saturday May 2 – FCBD Split
I’m splitting Free Comic Book Day between two different comic shops in the Lansing area.
8:00 AM to 10:30 AM – Clem’s Comics & Games (216 S. Washington Sq., Suite B, Lansing, MI, 48933).
I return once again to Clem’s in downtown Lansing. Other artists will be at the event, with more throughout the day. Like every year, all the artists will have free head sketches for kids 12 and under.¹ I hope kids like off-model Batman.
Those wanting a fancier sketch can buy one of my random cartoons, and I’ll have my usual stuff for sale: mini-comics, prints, and watercolor cartoons.
I recommend getting to Clem’s as early as you can. Their event always draws a big crowd, and you could miss out on some great Free Comic Book Day comics by arriving later in the day (plus, you’ll miss me!).
12:00 PM to 4:00 PM – Red Fox Comics (723 Brookside Dr., Lansing, MI, 48917)
Starting at noon, you can find me on Lansing’s West side at Red Fox Comics—just a bit West of the Lansing Mall (in a strip mall next to Outback Steakhouse). I’ll have free head sketches for kids 12 and under again, and selling the rest of my goodies.
Buy a Coloring Book!
My Clattertron coloring book is ready to go, and will be on sale at my Free Comic Book Day events and the next day at Capital City Comic Con.
While supplies last, with each purchase of a coloring book I’ll include a free 24-pack of crayons. I only have 11 packs of crayons, and when they are gone, they are gone.
Sunday May 3 – Capital City Comic Con (Sunday Only)
Even though Capital City Comic Con runs Saturday and Sunday, I will be there on Sunday only.
Capital City Comic Con is at Haslett High School, but don’t the ‘high school’ part confuse you—there is a lot of space. Other conventions and shows are held in the same space regularly.
Comic pals Sherief AbouElSeoud and Adam Talley will be there as well, including other Michigan artists, including K Lynn Smith (she makes the comic Plume).
There are other guests coming too, including the always fun Star Wars costume group, the 501st.
See you on Saturday and Sunday! Bring me coffee, and I’ll give you something. Like a sticker or two.
