Saturday, May 2, 2009, in addition to being Derby Day is also the day many comic book stores will be handing out a free comic book! (I heard this story on NPR.)If you aren't sure why a comic can be an art form, an intellectual stimulus, and just plain fun - read Scott McCloud's book 'Understanding Comics : The Invisible Art' [PN 6710 .M333 1993]. Mr. McCloud goes back to the Mayans and Egyptians to give examples of comic art as history.
Fascinating- and you thought comics were just about super heroes.
Get something to read at your local comic store on May 2, 2009.
