It's never too early to start thinking about Free Comic Book Day. Every year publishers and retailers join forces to give free comics to the fans and potential new readers. We often get some great and important story introductions. What you might not have thought about is getting a t-shirt to commemorate the day.
Diamond Comics has announced the FCBD 2014 commemorative t-shirt will feature new art by Skottie Young.
Skottie said the following:
“I just took the spirit of the characters we all love from comics and tried to capture them. I love comics and a day where a ton of them are free, that's exciting. I see it as a day of discovery for new readers, so that was my point of view when designing the shirt. A kid, new to the world of comics, looks over his shoulder and is shocked by the world he's found himself in!"
The shirt will be available in black, white and red, in adult small to XXL. Youth sizes will be available in small to large. All proceeds to to support Free Comic Book Day's marketing and promotional efforts.
Youth SMALL-L T-Shirt ..............................MSRP: 6.75
Adult SMALL-XL T-Shirt.....................................MSRP: $8.50
Adult XXL T-Shirt..................................MSRP: $10.50
The image will also be available in a commemorative poster for $7.99. Here's a bigger look at the image:
