A lot of comic retailers are going to give away free comic books on Saturday. Fantagraphics has published a nice giveaway comic, and Girlamatic will be free to all visitors all day on Saturday, May 7, 2005, starting at midnight Eastern time.
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, one of the first
and most successful spin-offs of Modern Tales, 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. We don't use no stinking DRM,
and members are welcome to share their passwords with friends,
within reason (share your password with two or ten people, we're okay
— share it with the whole public internet, we're not happy — that sort of thing).
