A FREE DAY OF FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Worldwide Free Comic Book Day Comes to Orlando with Comics for All Ages!

Comic Connection in Orlando is one of thousands of comic book shops around the world celebrating the comic book art form on Saturday, May 3rd. On Free Comic Book Day, over two million comic books will be given away by participating stores, introducing as many people as possible to the wonders of comic books!

 "The wide array of comic books being published today ensures that readers of all ages — children, teens, and adults – can find something appropriate that will stir their imaginations," said Jeff Melvin, owner of Comic Connection.

Now in its seventh year, Free Comic Book Day has proven to be a smashing success, spreading the word that comics are terrific reading. "Even if you have never picked up a comic book, stop into Comic Connection, because you never know what you will end up finding."

"We at Comic Connection want to spread the word that comics are alive and well in 2008," Melvin continued. "Comic books and graphic novels are considered hip, hot and smart." Comic Books have propelled to the front ranks of pop culture, many being adapted into movies. Ironman hits the big screen on May 2nd, the day before Free Comic Book Day. "The first weekend of May is going to be a big day in the comic book world."
Regular updates, information about comic books, and a list of participating publishers and their free comics are all online at www.FreeComicBookDay.com.

In addition, Comic Connection will be holding it's first "Comic CON-nection".  To celebrate the life of our friend Scot Morrison, who passed away on March 13, staff and friends will be dressed as their favorite comic book hero, villain or pop icon.  Costuming was one of Scot's great joys and we at Comic Connection are more than pleased to carry on that tradition!  Feel free to come dressed as your favorite and join in the fun of Free Comic Book Day!

Free Comic Book Day kicks off at 11 a.m. MAY 3 and runs until 7 p.m. at Comic Connection with 25% off toys, statues and back issues.
