Free Comic Book Day

Thank you for coming to Free Comic Book Day 2008!
Everyone had a fantastically good time. We gave out hundred and hundreds of comics. Once again the generosity of FCBD revelers awes us as we collected several hundred dollars for charity and more food than ever before.

Our new relationship with Newark Arts Alliance was a smashing success as both artists, kids, parents and the NAA enjoyed the “Chalk Talk” drawing classes and make your own mask activities. We can’t thank them for their participation enough.
