Free Comic Book Day 2008 report

The annual Free Comic Book Day event happening at the Readers Den comic book shop in Claremont was well visited like the previous year. The prize draws were held in the climbing wall area. There were a lot less people for the second prize draw than for the first one, but that was to be expected.

At least four people made an effort to dress up for the event and got spot prizes. At least two people that dresses up last year did so again this year.

More costumed characters showed up for the event, including two volunteers that were not expected. As event staff and family of event staff, there were Spider-Man (child and adult), Captain America, Wonder Woman, Catwoman and Iron Man. A lot of photos were taken with these characters which ended up being a lot of fun. As usual I was one of these since I was sponsoring costumes for the event.
