Diamond Comics Distributors has released FCBD news on a number of fronts recently. Diamond has announced the search for “Comics’ #1 Fan” as part of the FCBD promotional festivities — and more recently, the addition of Avatar Press as one of the publishers involved in that promotional contest. More information is available on Avatar’s FCBD page. Diamond distributes Avatar Press comics to comic shops, bookstores, and other retail outlets.
Also worth noting is Diamond’s efforts to get libraries involved in Free Comic Book Day this year. Interested libarians can contact Diamond’s library sales coordinator Allan Greenberg at Diamond Comics Distributors.
Avatar Press is involved in Free Comic Book Day this year with Frank Miller’s Robocop / Stargate SG1 and the Avatar Graphic Novel Sampler. More information on these items can be found here. Free Comic Book Day is 50 days away as of this posting — the event takes place on Saturday, May 3.
