The first saturday of May has become known as Free Comic Book Day. It's a chance for the industry to celebrate the medium. There are many titles and special printings made available that are given away. Individual stores stage their own events to promote the day. Here in Austin our costuming guild helped out Outrageous Outfits with such a promotional at Tribe Comics in the south part of the city. The company arranged for many people to show up dressed as various heroes and villains. They made an excellent addition to the local independent writers that also made an appearance

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

Speaking of enchanting	Posing with the owners of Tribe Comics	Like vs Like	Dr Fate; a prime mage
Vast numbers of patrons came for the day		Reproducing a notorious cover	Is this anatomically
possible?	A fierce cape crusader	very fierce	An appearance from Major Armstrong of Full Metal Alchemist - the manga being held
