Free Comic Book Day 2012 Gold Comic Books Announced
The Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) Committee has announced its Gold Sponsor comic book selections for the industry's top annual event, Free Comic Book Day, scheduled for Saturday, May 5, 2012. Next year marks the eleventh anniversary of Free Comic Book Day with another year of incredible stories that allow fans of all ages to dive into the adventures of their favorite comic book characters and encourage new readers to explore the fun and excitement that comics can offer.
Chosen by retailers on the FCBD Committee, there's a free comic book for everyone's taste: from Avengers, Star Wars and Transformers to Peanuts, Mouse Guard, and MegaMan.
"We had a record amount of entries from publishers this year with more than forty-five different titles" said FCBD spokesperson Leslie Jackson. "Retailers on the committee had a tough time deciding on which titles to choose for Gold sponsorship, but we're sure fans will be pleased with the line-up for next year."
A complete listing of all FCBD titles, including the ten Gold and thirty-five Silver comic books, can be found in the January issue of Diamond Comic Distributors' PREVIEWS catalog, on sale at all comic book shops on December 28. Look for a separate announcement next Friday on FCBD 2012's Silver comic book offerings.
