From associated press "An estimated 2.7 million copies of free comics are set to be handed out in comic book stores across the country and in 40 other countries on Saturday.
"The first Free Comic Book Day featured just four publishers. This year, three dozen publishers are participating," observed Joe Field, owner of Flying Colors Comics in Concord, Calif., who came up with the idea for the promotional event 10 years ago.
"Free Comic Book Day is massively important to us, because it gives us the opportunity to reach out and hook the next generation of comic book readers, and to reconnect with lapsed readers of the past," said Tom Brevoort, senior vice president at Marvel Comics. "And who doesn't like free stuff?"
