"A FREEDAY OF FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Worldwide Free Comic Book Day Comes to Richmond with Comics for All Ages!

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, 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. 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 IOFFREDA 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.

We at THEY WALK AMONG US want to spread the word that comics are alive and well in 2008. Comic books and graphic novels are hip, hot and smart. Comic Books have propelled to the front ranks of pop culture, many being adapted into movies. Iron Man hits the big
screen on May 2nd, the day before Free Comic Book Day. The first weekend of May is going to be a big day in the comic book world.
Regular updates, information about comic books, and a list of participating publishers and their free comics are all online at www.FreeComicBookDay.com.
