Captain Blue Hen Comics

Mike Baron & Steve Rude Back with NEXUS

Based on an article from ICv2.com.

Rude Dude Productions’ Nexus #99: Space Opera Part 1 is due out on July 11th. The cult schi-fi/superhero series first made a return with the catch-up issue: Free Comic Book Day Nexus.

 

Captain Blue Hen still has copies of this special issue and will support the series starting in July with Nexus #99, which will be followed in August by the release of the double-size Nexus #100 issue, with Nexus #101 set for September and #102 for October.

More Free Comic Book Day Goodness

Did you miss the big day? Were you there, but want more?

We still have some FCBD titles. Get one free and get extras for a half dollar donation to New Castle County Libraries and Operation Comix Relief.

Check out the reports, photos, and mini-movies in the Captain Blue Hen store, on this website, and on www.myspace.com/captainbluehen. (As of 5/8 some photos are online–more will be added in the next day or so.)

Best Free Comic Book Day Ever

Why was Free Comic Book Day 2007 our biggest and best FCBD event to date? Let us count the ways:

• More than 1500 of you comic-loving folks partied with us on Cinco de Mayo.
• You took home more than 3ooo free comics including Amazing Spider-Man, Umbrella Academy and Unseen Peanuts.
• Five artists drew hundreds of pictures of you and your favorite comics characters.
• You hung out with half a dozen cool characters like Spider-Man and Darth Vader.
• You broke open two stuffed pinatas.
• You brought in hundreds of cans of food for the food bank.
• You helped us raise hundreds of dollars for New Castle County Libraries.
• You helped us raise hundreds of dollars for Operation Comix Relief.
• You adopted at least one dog from CompAnimals Pet Rescue.

Captain Blue Hen Comics thanks all our helpers, artists, characters, and all of you who visited for a great day!

Goodbye, Annex, We’ll Miss You…

Sadly, Free Comic Book Day was the last hoorah for the extra sales space known lovingly as the CBH Annex.

But do not fret fellow fans of great deals and dollar comics! Believe it or not, some of the famous Cambridge Collection is still left. Captain Blue Hen continues to feature the Dollar Comics Section as well as some of the other goodies remaining from the Annex.

Website updated- Nation holds it’s breath!

The website she is a changin’. This isn’t the final look and we’re looking for input. Tell us what you like and don’t like. We’ve got professionals working on this these days who have an uphill battle dealing with Joe’s Luddite tendencies and failure to understand how these consarned machines work. Why back in his day you would just rinse off the coal shovel, grab a fresh piece of chalk and start all over again (the original Etch-a-Sketch).

Seriously, tell us what you think.

Joe
