Gratis Comic Tag.

Last Saturday was Free Comic Book Day and I was of course there. I got stuck in the comic store for more then a hour just flipping though pages and looking at all the things I wanted to read. Then I got my three free comics. And some other comics from the 1euro bucket and biked home happy.

Adventure Times are awesome! Crazy but awesome.

At the comic book store I also found out that this week, on Saturday the 12th of May, there will be the German version of Free Comic Book Day, that is american. Simply enough it's called Gratis Comic Tag (more info here) and can be found in 19 comic book shops in Berlin. When I was biking today and listen to the radio I heard more about it. There is about 30 comic to choose from, some specially made for the event. The rules vary a bit from store to store, but getting to choose three seams a bit standard. I guess one could also go to all the comics stores and make a collection of free comics.
The thing about Gratis Comic Tag is that a comic reader might pick up something that he/she normally wouldn't read and then maybe start liking it. There are comics of every kind, something for everyone. On the radio they also said that last year people queue up outside the stores long before opening. I will not be one of those, but I will be there. I'm all ready looking though the comics that are to choose from trying to decide which ones I want, something I didn't really do at Free Comic Book Day.

Saturday the 12th of May will be a great day for me as a comic and book lover (see previose post). Looking forward to it a lot.
