Saturday is Free Comics Day!

Posted by Ampersand | May 6th, 2005

This Saturday is Free Comics Day!

This means a few things. It means that if you drop by your friendly neighborhood comics shop, maybe they’ll give you some free comics.

And it also means that all Girlamatic comics will be free all day tomorrow. Free! Free! Here’s a not-especially-formal statement from the publisher, Joey Manley:

As a sort of unofficial tip of the hat to Free Comic Book Day, and to celebrate our recent recovery from a catastrophic server crash, Girlamatic.com’s archives will be free to all visitors all day on Saturday, May 7, 2005, starting at midnight Eastern time.

http://www.girlamatic.com

If you haven’t yet checked out the great comics on the site (including Jenn Manley Lee’s amazing “Dicebox,” Jason Thompson’s creepy teen-angst drorror — horror and drama, get it? — “The Stiff,” the Narbonic spin-off “Li’l Mell,” or the too-cute-for-words “Jeepers,” just to name a few, now’s your chance!

Girlamatic is an award-winning webcomics publication featuring lots of comics that aren’t specifically targetted at male readers, and that, you know, kind of sort of are mostly intended for female audiences. But guys are welcome or whatever. I guess that’s the politically-correct way to put it. Or, as Girlamaticker Lisa Jonte puts it — “Come for the cooties, stay for the comics!”

Subscriptions cost $2.95/month or $29.95/year and include heaping helpings of our eternal gratitude.

As most “Alas” readers already know, my own comic Hereville is a Girlamatic comic. So if you’d like to read a bunch of Hereville for free, tomorrow’s the day!

Oh, and hey - when Boing Boing reproduced Joey’s statement, they also included a Hereville drawing by yours truly! I’m on Boing Boing! Super-keen. (Thanks to Jakob for pointing this out to me).
