Free Comic Book Day -- Avatar Press

Avatar Press is pleased to announce that its participation in Free Comic Book Day 2004 will feature the work of Lady Death creator and Chaos! founder Brian Pulido in a preview of several of his upcoming Avatar Press titles. The fcbd comic is called Back in Black: Brian Pulido Unleashed at Avatar Press, and it will be available free from retailers participating on Free Comic Book Day 2004 -- July 3.

Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world are giving away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their stores. Now entering its third year after very successful days in 2002 and 2003, the event takes place on July 3 in 2004.

"Black in Black" is ground zero for my my new dark material," says Pulido. "Avatar cut me loose and gave me complete creative license to do whatever the hell I pleased. If you're hungry for the dark stuff, here's your three course meal. Take a bite."

"Free Comic Book Day has quickly become one of the premiere events for our industry's retailers, creators, and publishers to work toward bringing new audiences to comics," says Avatar Press editor in chief William Christensen. "I'm proud to be contributing to that effort by putting Brian Pulido's upcoming work into the hands of a new readership. Throughout his professional career, Brian has become well known for his own efforts to reach out to both readers and retailers, so a showcase for his upcoming projects at Avatar are the perfect choice for Avatar's 2004 FCDB entry, and a great followup to our Frank Miller's Robocop / Stargate SG-1 fcbd book last year. With Brian's involvent in FCBD this year, Avatar hopes to work with Diamond and the retail community to build new audiences by showing them the best of what comic books have to offer."

"Here's a chance for fans to check out my new comics for free," Pulido adds. "Meet three dangerous ladies and get the buzz you got on Chaos! stuff."

Free Comic Book Day is on Saturday, July 3 this year. Be sure to ask retailers in your area to carry Back in Black: Brian Pulido Unleashed at Avatar Press. For more information, contact Avatar Press editor in chief William Christensen.
