Robot Man Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Free Comic Book Day 2017 Everybody going to hit FCBD? What are you going after? I always get the Simpsons but after that I stumped. Any suggestions? I don't know what the "secret" Marvel and DC books are all about? Was hoping to get something Disney, Superman or Wonder Woman for my grandaughter. oldmilwaukee6er 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 You can see the comics for 2017 here. I have no idea what 'gold' and 'silver' means though. No Disney this time, it seems. Alas, it'll be hit and miss what I find in the LCS. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisco37 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I take my daughter every year and just let her pick out what she wants. I think my LCS is allowing a few per person (and more if you bring a non-perishable food for donation). Based on the list I see, we'll probably end up with some combo of the following books: Loud House Sponge Bob Barbie Descendants Simpsons Monster High Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Disney this time, it seems. Alas, it'll be hit and miss what I find in the LCS. Gold and silver are the levels of support from the publishers. Publishers are losing money on FCBD, since they pay more to print the books than they receive (a few cents each) from the comic shops. Gold sponsors agree to provide a minimum number of books far in advance of the orders being taken, at their own "loss", in exchange for being identified to the world as "Gold Sponsors". It takes money to prove to people that you have money. oldmilwaukee6er 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 My local stores love the day. There are a lot of "pikers" who just show up and take but there are a lot of people buying all day long as well. Plus the exposure and good will is good for all. I always make a point of spending some money even if it's on supplies or boxes at all the stores I go to. Kids LOVE it and they are the future of this hobby. I always bring a half a dozen kids from my street as well as my grand daughter. They love it. Readcomix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark88 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I always try to buy a back issue, mylites or mag box from my LCS to help support FCBD. My LCS is handing out free Valerian movie preview mag that has graphic novel pages reprinted in English in support of the 50th anniversary of Valerian: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
