Orbital Comics - Free Comic Book Day!

Orbital Comics in London 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 by participating stores, 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 appropriate that will stir their imaginations," said Damian Keeng, owner of Orbital Comics.

Now in its seventh year, Free Comic Book Day has proven to be a smashing success, spreading the word that comics are terrific reading.

Keeng added: "Even if you have never picked up a comic book, stop into Orbital Comics, because you never know what you will end up finding."

"We at Orbital Comics want to spread the word that comics are alive and well in 2008, books and graphic novels are considered hip, hot and smart."

The event at Orbital Comics kicks of at 10.30am and will run until 7pm.
