Free Comic Book Day - They Walk Among Us
Head down to They Walk Among for Free Comic Book day and signing sessions from some special scribes
They Walk Among Us in Richmond is one of thousands of comic book shops around the world celebrating the comic book art form on Saturday May 3rd.
On Free Comic Book Day, over two million comic books will be given away FREE by participating stores worldwide, introducing as many people as possible to the wonders of comic books!
The wide array of comic books being published today ensures that readers of all ages -- children, teens, and adults - can find something that will stir their imaginations. It's as diverse and involving a medium as film, and there's something for everyone. This year at TWAU we have a real coup. The book being produced by Marvel Comics, 'X Men: Pixie' was written by acclaimed scribe London's own Mike Carey and he'll be signing them on the day.
In a knockout two-fisted double-header, also appearing is rising superstar artist Jamie McKelvie who'll be signing his celebrated indie smashes Phonogram and Suburban Glamour, and his new breakout work for Marvel, X-Men : Divided We Stand. We have talented artist/writer and cartoonist of The Guardians Cora's Breakfast, Nick Abadzis signing copies of his moving graphic novel Laika, and up and coming self-publisher Jenika Iofredda who produces her own title Vampire Free Style.
Now in its seventh year, Free Comic Book Day has proven to be a smashing success, spreading the word that comics are terrific reading. Even if you have never picked up a comic book, stop into They Walk Among Us, because you never know what you will end up finding.
Free Comic Book Day kicks off at 9.30 a.m and runs until 5.30 p.m. at the store in Richmond.
Nick Abadzis and Jenika Iofredda will be signing from 1.00 p.m
Mike Carey and Jamie McKelvie will be appearing from 2pm to 5pm.
