Last weekend Confounded Books closed its doors for good, and this weekend the rest of the comic industry is doing its best to ensure it doesn't encounter the same fate. Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, organized as a celebration of the history of the comic form, but really a smart attempt to get new feet heading to comic book shops. There's no catch. Walk in and get a free comic book. It's a great idea and one that we fully support, since it combines two things Seattlest loves: free and stuff. If you're curious where to go, just go to the event's page, which has a shop locator to help you out. Might we recommend Comics Dungeon, one of the 43 Things we Love About Wallingford? more ›
