May 1st is Free Comic Book Day this year. It’s been a looooooong time since I’ve kept up with comics, but some of the coolest publishing experiments are coming out of that area of publishing apps, e-readers, digital art and… free comic books! So this Saturday, comic book stores all over the country will host special events and have some free comics to give away.

I remembered I wanted to remind both of my blog readers of this fact after running across this Crankshaft comic over on Sam’s Book Chase blog…

How cool is that? It’s fun when the rest of the world notices what’s going on in the publishing world.
