Media Coverage 2006

One of the goals of Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is to reach out to those individuals unfamiliar with the comics specialty market, not to mention a comic book shop. Soevery year those behind Free Comic Book Day launch a massive promotional campaign that heralds the event and spreads the good word of comics to potential readers everywhere. The following news stories and FCBD mentions are the fruit of our 2006 promotional campaign’s efforts. (Links are provided where applicable and available.)  We will update with 2007 coverage as it becomes available.
