Free Comic Book Day 2009

It's gotta be one of the best days of the year! Yes! It's 'Free Comic Book Day.' A day when everything is right with the world and we all join hands with our fellow human beings in a joyous celebration of free comics throughout the land. Me, Johnny and Ste got ourselves on over to Travelling Man again this week (after a great night out earlier in the week at the fortnightly Travelling Man Comic Evening) and grabbed ourselves some great free comics. We'll definitely be going again next year! Woot! :D

Travelling Man Comic Evening

Travelling Man holds regular "Comic Evenings" in Leeds so we decided to check it out after Dan Barritt from Ragadabah told us about it. Ste joined us as he's also a big graphic novel / comic fan and (although he's modest about it) he's an awesome comic artist himself.

Comics from the store were on hand to flick through as well as some produced by the other guests at the evening. Dan handed us copies of hiw own free mini-comic :)

Reading comics formed only half of the night's purpose. Everybody discussed comics (and the fantasy genre in general) and large sketchbooks were on hand for much doodling. The results were.. odd!



Suffice to say we'll be back again for more, especially considering the drinks in Fab Cafe that follow these fortnightly events!
