Free Comic Book Day - May 1st!

Hope everyone is making plans to come by Dr. No's for Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, May 1st! We'll have dozens of titles to choose from, Fincluding all-ages-friendly comics, DC's special War of the Supermen #0, Dark Horse's introduction of their new Solar and Magnus titles written by Jim Shooter, an Iron Man/Thor special from Marvel, and much more. There's stuff for newcomers, for long-time fans, for collectors... there really is something for everyone!

Second, we have a great pair of guests joining us for a little while that day. Mark Bagley, artist of Justice League of America and the man who holds the world record for drawing more issues of Spider-Man than any other illustrator, will be on hand. So will Brian Reed, writer of the best-selling Siege: Embedded, recently-completed Ms. Marvel series, the upcoming Spider-Man: American Son, and much more. That's two great creators--and you can say hello, ask 'em questions about their work, and get their autographs between noon at 2 pm on Saturday!

Third, our backstock sale will still be going on. We're running "by one get one at half-price" sale on all our floor-boxed backstock issues, so this is a great time to fill in holes in your collection!

Fourth, we'll have all of our manga titles on sale "buy two get one free" for this day only!

Fifth, we'll have some other surprise sales, so come on by and check out the bargains.

And finally, for those of you who are gaming fans, we're having a sneak peek event for the latest YuGiOh series that day. $20 gets you five packs of the new release, Shining Darkness, along with a special promo card--and that means you'll be able to get five packs of this hot new release more than a week before the rest of the world has a chance to buy it! The sneak peek event starts at 3pm, so don't miss it!

Looking Forward to April 28th's Comics!

This week brings Green Lantern Corps #47, the first Brightest Day issue of that title. And keeping with the green theme, we also get Kevin Smith's Green Hornet #3, which features a shocking death in its final pages (and no, we're not telling you who!).

Remember Peter S. Beagle's best-selling fantasy novel The Last Unicorn? Well , it makes the jump to comics this week courtesy of IDW!

Superman: Last Stand of New Krypton #3 brings that series to an end, just in time for this Saturday's War of the Supermen #0 Free Comic Book Day Special.

(And now that we've mentioned Free Comic Book Day, don't forget that both Mark Bagley and Brian Reed will be at Dr. No's on Saturday, May 1st from noon until 2pm for Free Comic Book Day!)

Lots of great stuff, and it'll all be available for sale as soon as the doors open at 11am on Wednesday, April 28th!

Mark Bagley & Brian Reed at Dr. No's for FCBD!

As if free comics weren't reason enough to come to Dr. No's on Saturday, May 1st, for Free Comic Book Day, then here's an even better reason: acclaimed artist Mark Bagley and hot writer Brian Reed will be signing at our store from noon until 2pm on Saturday, May 1st, in conjunction with the FCBD festivities.

Bagley, who holds the record for having illustrated more Spider-Man comics than any other artist, is also the only comic book artist to have illustrated a year-long weekly series (Trinity, DC's weekly that featured Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and scores of other DC heroes). He is currently illustrating DC's Justice League of America, one of the publisher's best-selling titles.

Reed, writer of the best-selling videogames including Ultimate Spider-Man, began writing comics several years ago. He has written for Marvel, DC, and Image, and his books include the best-selling Siege: Embedded, Siege: Spider-Man, and the upcoming Spider-Man: American Son.

Come by for a chance to talk to these talented comics creators and get your books signed!
