Episode 61 – “May The Free Comics Be With You!”

Lin WorkmanMay 6, 2024

Show notes: For this episode I share some ⁠Mid-South Cartoonists Association⁠ news and a few interviews recorded at 901 Comics East during this year’s ⁠Free Comic Book Day⁠ on May 4th, 2024. I, along with my Star Wars fangirl wife Nicki Workman and ⁠MSCA⁠ members, Lee Raggs, Kevin L. Williams, and local artist Kevion Baker (who was filling in for Antonio Johnson) set up this past weekend at the Cordova comic shop during the FCBD event. Nicki and I also discuss our other May The Fourth adventures around town, and other upcoming events like the MSCA Monthly Dinner Gathering at Garibaldi’s Pizza and the ⁠Memphis Public Libraries’ Comic Con⁠.

Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is the biggest event in the comic book industry—a single day (every year on the first Saturday in May) when participating comic book specialty shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops! Founded on the belief that for every person out there, there’s a comic book they’ll love, the annual event offers a huge selection of free titles designed to appeal to a broad range of age levels and their tastes.
