Hogan's Alley - FCBD 2010

Can't make it to a local comic shop on Saturday, May 1st? No worries, you can still get free stuff!

Why so glum, chum? We're here to deliver a glimmer of cheer! Mark your calendars for this Saturday, May 1: Free Comic Book Day. Send us an e-mail ON THAT DATE with your mailing address, and we’ll send you a FREE issue of Hogan’s Alley! No obligations, no strings attached; the only thing it will cost you is several hours as you enjoy the issue. (This offer is valid for all U.S. residents, whether you’re a current subscriber or not.) Remember the one condition—we must receive your e-mail request (sent to hoganmag@gmail.com) on Free Comic Book Day (May 1), not the day before or the day after. (Before and after that date, any requests for freebies will receive only scorn and derision.)

Free stuff is always cool, but cool free stuff is even cooler! If you have not yet had a chance to read this labor of love magazine, this is the perfect time to try it out. If you like comics, you'll be glad you did!

I'll be visiting various LCSs in the area on Saturday, and I look forward to visiting with folks while I make my rounds. But if I do not see you Saturday, I hope to see local comic fans at the Atlanta Comic Convention this Sunday, May 2nd. Admission to the con is FREE! The fine folks behind the new Knoxville Comic and Anime Con are generously sponsoring the show this Sunday. PLUS each attendee gets a FREE PASS to the Knoxville show while they last!

FREE COMICS + FREE COMIC CONVENTION = GREAT WEEKEND!

Quotes of Legend - The 11th Doctor

The Doctor: "Didn't anyone ever tell you there's one thing you never put in a trap if you're smart? If you value your continued existence? If you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never ever put in a trap."

Weeping Angel: "And what would that be, sir?"

The Doctor: "Me."
It didn't take long for Matt Smith to win me over. Long live The Doctor!
