Free Comic Book Day May 5 – Dearborn’s Green Brain
Thursday, April 26th, 2012
Free Comic Book Day 2012 at Green Brain Comics in Dearborn will feature more guest comic creators then ever before, a workshop area, and lots of ways to get FREE specially marked comic books.
Green Brain Comics store owner Dan Merritt says this upcoming Free Comic Book Day will be the biggest celebration ever. “It’s outgrown the store,” said Merritt, the coordinator for the event. “So we’re planning an expansion into the parking lot and essentially doubling the fun!”
This year Green Brain Comics is partnering with Oakwood Healthcare Systems, the East Dearborn Downtown Development Authority and Kids Read Comics to provide a huge tent to house a host of local comic creators, local vendors, and a comic workshop area for kids of all ages. And you get free comics, Merritt said.
Inside the store, Green Brain Comics will be giving away thousands of comics printed specifically for Free Comic Book Day. Everyone who comes in gets the choice of three, from a selection of over three dozen different titles. Plus, you can get up to four more by donating non-perishable canned food (for Gleaners Food Bank), used cell phones (for Cell Phones for Soldiers), gently used books (for Friends of the Library Dearborn) or just for appearing in costume, Merritt said.
There will be live music, DJs, door prizes and even a photo booth.
Free Comic Book Day kicks off at 10 a.m. and runs until 8 p.m. Saturday, May 5th at Green Brain Comics, 13210 Michigan Ave. East Downtown Dearborn. Call 313-582-9444 or got to www.greenbrain.biz for more information.
