Free Comic Day Haul

We had a blast yesterday at Beyond Comics in Fredrick Maryland for the annual Free Comic Book Day. As you can see by the stuff below, we got a lot.


They had 25% off everything in the store (except for some recent comics and specific merchandise). The also has some local artists and writers from various comics, so I was able to add to my Sketch book. For more on that, you can check ot out on my Green Dragons Den website later this week. They had some cool displays like a full sized Hulk and a female manikin wrapped in comic book pages (sorry for the poor shots as it was taken on my cell phone)


I was surprised that they actually had a small niche of Anime/Manga stuff. Mostly Gundam, Final Fantasy figures and one book case of Manga. I wish they would of had more, but I guess I got spoiled with Tate's. I was still able to find something though - heeheehee.

As you can see in the shot, I have finally purchased my first Gundam Figure for myself. I went all out on the Gundam Fix Figuration #0034 GP03S Stamen. It was $79.99, so with the discount, I was able to get it at $60.00. My wife thought it was pretty cool and gave me the green light to get it.

I will be doing a photo shoot of the new Gundam figure and hope to have that up in a couple weeks.

Did anyone go to any of the Free Comic Book Day celebrations around your area?

    @Yi ~ the third image was a lower quality pic, so made it a bit odd
