Missed It: DCD Names FCBD Titles

imageDirect market service maestro Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. has announced the various titles that will make up the bulk of giveaways on the forthcoming Free Comic Book Day promotion. This is the event whereby competing shops can plan a big promotional day for themselves centered on the fact that there are these comic book tailored for new readers that they can hand out, ostensibly to a variety of people many of whom have not been in the store before, growing the readership. In a kind of annual FCBD coda, those of us nerds not near stores wait until the week following and whine at retailer friends and allies until someone sends us the two or three we want, like Drawn & Quarterly's selection here. That promotion will take place on Saturday, May 6.
