Free Comic Book Day News ( Philippines )

Read from Gerry Alanguilan's  blog post about the Free Comic Book Day event on May 3, 2007, the Graphic Classic comics has a Free Comic Book Day special issue with cover art by Gerry. This will be given for free to all comic store visitor in Comic Odyssey in Robinson's Galeria, and there are other selected comics titles will be given for free on May 3. This will be a 2nd Free Comic Book Day event in Comic Odyssye and according to Gerry, he will be there to sign comics and meet the fans. Other comic artists will be there too to celebrate and participate the annual Free Comic Book Day.

Also I just got permission from the owner of Comic Odyssey that I will cover the event and will broadcast the whole day event via a webcam or live video stream. Now everyone can participate virtually evgen if your away from Manila or outside the country. I'll be creating a viewing page of the event and also a chat interface so that you can interact with other comic book fans and also we might get a chance to say hello! to our comic artist guests.

If its  your first time to attend the Free Comic Book Day, here are some tips

1. come on time at exactly at 10am
2. bring a bag  for your comic hauls
3. bring a camera, so that you can cover the event in your own style
4. bring some comic books for autograph with the comic artist guest
5. bring some extra shirt, because its a whole day event and you want to be fresh during the first 6 hours
6. bring money! the comics is free, but the food is not! yeah! there are food centers in the mall, you need a lot of energy
7. at 10am, line up properly infront of the comic store.
8. if you're late, just wish that you can still get free copies of the comics
9. and if this tip is effective, contact me immediately ( hehhehe)
