Do you still have a hankering for free comics? Was Free Comic Book Day not enough? Good news! A bundle of Hand Out Comics #3 just arrived late in the mail, and they’re completely free!

Made for Free Comics Book Day by Neil Brideau, Ben Bertin, Carter Lodwick, and Sam Sharpe, this anthology is a fun look into the Chicago comics scene. Thanks to the creators for the books! They are available on the main floor.

And thanks to everyone who came out for Free Comic Book Day this year. It was the busiest FCDB we’ve had in ages, and we gave out almost all of the comics. That’s amazing!

Toronto-based publishing house Nestlings Press has just dropped off two new collections to the store: When Tom Met Alison: A Fisher Collection by Philip Street, and A Fine Line: The Caricatures of Anthony Jenkins by Anthony Jenkins.

Beginning almost 20 years ago in the Globe & Mail, Fisher is the ongoing adventures of the bumbling Tom Fisher and the winsome/strong-willed Allison. Are they roommates? Are they…more than roommates? When Tom Met Alison collects the first 10 years of the strip, and can be yours for only $19.95.

A Fine Line brings together over 100 of Globe and Mail artist Anthony Jenkins’ portraits of famous faces throughout the ages. It’s got Joni Mitchell, Glenn Gould, David Suzuki, and our own neighbour, “Honest Ed” Mirvish! And lots of non-Canadians too! This book is also just $19.95, and can be found on the main floor.
