Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is an annual worldwide event that is held every first Saturday of May. It has been a decade long tradition already, with the objective of promoting comic book reading and boost the comic book industry.
This year, Comic Odyssey (3rd level, Robinsons Galleria, EDSA corner Ortigas Ave, Quezon City) will host the Philippine FCBD starting at 10:30am. Expect a long queue of Pinoy fanboys/fanbabes (and cheapskates like me) eager to grab free comics and goodies such as posters or postcards.
Gerry Alanguilan, one of the most respected Filipino comic book artists and a personal favorite of mine, announced in his website Komikero.com (http://gerry.alanguilan.com/) that he will be giving away free copies of book #4 of his critically acclaimed and Eisner Awards nominated "Elmer".
He will also be one of the Pinoy artists who will be present during the autograph signings from 1pm to 5pm. The star-studded line up will include:
CARLO PAGULAYAN – Agents of Atlas, Hulk, Emma Frost, Elektra

If you still don't believe me, here's a comic book that got from the FCBD two years ago at Bonifacio High Street.
Carinderia patrons, let's head on over to Comic Odyssey next Saturday if you're FREE.

Anung nakuha mo?
57 free comics in all, mostly back issues of Image and other start-up comic book companies. I got Spawn 8 written by Alan Moore, Aster and Shaiana featuring the early works of Gerry Alanguilan and Jay Anacleto. I was able to have both of them sign these issues :)
