QuoteEverybody loves free comics, right? Well, this year Orbital is proud to not only be participating in the annual Free Comic Book Day, but also to be hosting a massive 2000AD mega-signing session with a number of the creators featured in their Free Comic Book Day issue.
You heard us! Not only can you get a free copy of 2000AD's FCBD Special (and other awesome comics) ... you can also get it signed by the creators involved, including Hannah Berry, Henry Flint, Alec Worley, Matt 'Tharg' Smith, and special guest Dani (who's flying in from Greece for the day) – with more to be announced over the coming weeks.
But wait – that's not all ... On top of free comics and a 2000AD mega-signing, we'll also have original art from the issue on display in the Orbital Gallery. We have Dani's complete story (as part of a wider exhibition) plus Rufus Dayglo & Jim McCarthy's art from Bad Company!
Doors open at 10:30am for Free Comic Book Day, then the signing will commence at 2pm. This is our biggest and most ambitious FCBD signing EVER, so we hope you'll join us in celebrating the enduring thrill-power of 2000AD as they blaze ahead in 2016. Zarjaz!
Quote"With the Future Shock: The Story of 2000 AD documentary now out on DVD and on-demand, there's never been greater interest in the history of the most influential comic that Britain has ever produced.
And we're very pleased that this September, we will be publishing the memoirs of one of, if not the, most definitive editors in our comic's history – Steve MacManus.
How important is he to the history of comics? A modern comics industry without Steve is a world without Alan Moore and Ian Gibson's The Ballad of Halo Jones, or Peter Milligan, Brett Ewins, and Jim McCarthy's Bad Company, or Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill's Nemesis the Warlock, and everything that has led from that since – whether it's the 'British Invasion' of the late '80s, the rise of Vertigo in the '90s, or Image's direction in the 2010s...
So this isn't just a memoir of 2000 AD, it's a retelling of a critical period in Western comics as we know them and it's a must read for anyone interested in the history of comics.
The Mighty One: My Life Inside the Nerve Centre will be out for review later this year, but I'm very proud to give you the news about this new title for 2016.
