Free Comic Book Day!
In the scheme of free things that are cool, we rate comics pretty highly (beaten only by free money. Think of all the comics you could buy with free money!). That’s why we’re pretty excited for Free Comic Book Day on Saturday May 1st.
Both Kings Comics and Books Kinokuniya will be celebrating the day in style, with Kings holding their annual 20% off sale, and Kino celebrating with a zine fair and Cosplay Competition.
Facebook Cosplay Competition
At their store during FCBD, Kinokuniya’s photographer will be taking photos of people dressed in their favourite character’s outfits and uploading those photos to their facebook page. The three photos with the most ‘likes’ will receive a $100 Kinokuniya voucher! The three categories include Best American Graphic Novel Character, Best Manga Character, and Best Gothic Lolita.
Save with Kings
Kings Comics is having their yearly sale on the same day, with savings right across the board! Excluding New Release items (comics and merchandise released in April 2010) all back issues will be 50% off, while everything else in store will be 20% off, but only for one day.
Kinokuniya Craft and Zine fair
After you’ve nabbed your free goodies, why not relax and sample the works of local artists, writers and comic creators at Kinokuniya’s zine fair? Oh, and they have a life size Dalek in attendance too. That’s pretty awesome.
So whether you’re a comic aficionado or a total newcomer, there’s plenty of fun to be had and free stuff to horde. Drop by, enjoy the festivities, and celebrate this fascinating visual medium with Free Comic Book Day!
