| On
Saturday, July 3, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Rain
City Comics, 13400 NE 175th St. in Woodinville,
will join with thousands of comic book shops around
the world to celebrate the unique American art
form that is comic books. The day has been dubbed
“Free Comic Book Day,” and its goal
is to introduce as many people to the wonders
of comic books as possible.
“This is the third year for Free Comic
Book Day,” said Rik Deskin, manager of
Rain City Comics. “And every time it rolls
around, it’s a tremendous success all
over the world. We’re proud to be a part
of this magnificent annual event.”
This year’s sequel appropriately enough
falls on the Saturday after the theatrical release
of another sequel “Spider-Man 2,”
the hotly anticipated follow-up to the blockbuster
Spider-Man movie. In the course of Free Comic
Book Day, stores will give away millions of
comic books, ranging in subject matter from
high-flying superhero adventure to intense slice-of-life
to crime noir to kid-friendly humor and more.
“When you visit Rain City Comics on July
3, you’ll find a great variety of free
comics,” continued Rik Deskin. “There
are comics for children, for families to enjoy
together, for adults, and especially for people
who think they would never read a comic book.
...”

comics) are online at http://www.FreeComicBookDay.com.
