EVENTS FOR FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2008 on SATURDAY MAY 3rd -UPDATED with SALES
Four Days and counting... Read the story to see the sales for Saturday. We have some fantastic guests at our Downtown Store this year so plan on battling the traffic. Here is the latest news of what Downtown Comics is doing next week.
Thursday May 1st (8pm - Midnight)
United Artists Theatre Galaxy 14 (96th st and I-65 in Fishers)
We will have a table set up for the midnight showing of IRON MAN. We will have posters, buttons, stickers, and comics to give away as well as TICKETS. CONTEST: Starting now the first 15 people to post a comment to this article will win a ticket for 2 to the midnight showing. You have to come to the theatre to get your ticket by 11pm (the movie starts at 11:59) or we will start giving them away to the patrons. This is an open showing not a screening, it may sell out, so the earlier the better. If you are planning to just come anyway, stop by our table (we may have more tickets to give away).
Friday May 2nd (9am-9:30am)
WXNT 1430am Abdul in the morning
Yours truly (Mike) will join Abdul during his goof off hour to discuss Free Comic Book Day, the Iron Man movie, and whatever else he can think of. This will be my second appearance on the radio and hopefully I won't embarrass myself (that's a good reason to tune in by the way). BONUS CONTEST - A $15 gift card from me to whoever posts the when, where and what for that was my first radio appearance.
SATURDAY May 3rd(11am - 8pm) (6pm at the Downtown store)
FREE Comics from our publisher friends all day while they last. BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY.

Comment by Lamont Cranston on April 24, 2008 at 8:41pm - Midnight? Ugh, can't you have an early afternoon showing for us old folks? Something around 2pm so I can still make the early-bird special by 4:30 at the local buffet?
