SpazDog Comics
(Arizona) Free Book Comic Day was a blast
this year. SpazDog Comics
(www.spazdogcomics.com)
held its Free Comic Book Day at the Maricopa County Library District's North
Valley Regional Library. We had artists and writers from all over Arizona that
came to show off their latest comic books. As part of the day, we offered 3
comic books to anyone who walked in the door. If they showed us their library
card, they could choose up to 10 comics. By the end of the day, the library had
signed up more than double the number of people that they do on their busiest
Saturday. Our Introduction to HeroClix class was well attended with kids walking
away with the Wolverine, Batman and Spiderman HeroClix. Now that's a powerful
trio. We also held a contest for the school with the Most Students attending
Free Comic Book Day. Galvilan Peak Elementary School was the winner of a
Hardcover copy of Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics and some other comic
related books.
Special Thanks go to: Jay Fotos, Ken and Maggie Wright, Kevin Moyers, Kenny
Puckett, Issac Horn, and Rich Portis for signing their own creations. Jim and
Kirsten Smith for celebrating their anniversary at our Free Comic Book Day.
Thanks to Vin Ragozzine for taking the photos. Kathy DeMumbrum, Scott "Smitty"
Smith, Paul Galletley, and "the" Brad Oliver. Big Thanks go to Stephanie
Martinez, Teen Librarian, and the Maricopa County Library District for hosting
the event and my family for their unending support.
