FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2007

This past Saturday was one of the proudest days in my life, to see so many people who shared my interest in comic books and other literary pop cultures all in one place nearly brought tears to my eyes.
Saturday, for the intellectually numb, was the 6th annual Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) an international festival aimed to further expose the world to the interesting and exciting world of comics. As the name suggests, on FCBD loads of free comics are given away across the world and this year there were an unprecedented 40 different titles available.

Given the huge publicity that all the participating comic stores receive on FCBD, they not only give away free comics but also hold massive promotions/sales including graphic novels, action figures and many other pop culture items.
Unfortunately, given my heighten emotional state on the day I spent way too much money and might possible not be able to afford my monthly orders this month - actually on second thought, I'll rather give up food this month (food isn't that important).
