I heard a whisper about this last month, and am very, very pleased to see it announced! Great work, Rebellion droids!
Me like :D
That is absolutely awesome, and about time too.
Yeah that is great news. Hopefully that'll pull a few more folk back to the fold. Good to see they're focusing on modern thrills by the look.
That's a very good idea, good to see 'em really pushing the prog.
Fabulous! i'll take five- one for me and four for gifts to lapsed squaxx. Now, how do i get it?

It is tricky outside the US - you should let your LCS know about it and they might be able to organise something. There is the problem of extra shipping from the US and some shops give them away to folks who spend a certain amount, but this isn't so common now and most give them away for free and have in-store events so do OK out of it. You'll need to check closer to the time.
Forbidden Planet gave them away for free:

Bleeding Cool did a series of reports across the UK which might give you a taste of what might be going on this year:

Closer to the time I'm sure we can assemble some information in this thread or a new one but the best initial move would be to ask your friendly neighbourhood comics shop if they are getting involved.
I know my local thrill merchant did FCBD the year before last; I wasn't able to get to it last year, but presumably they'll also be doing it this year.
Will this thing have stories specially commissioned, or just be reprints?
Usually Forbidden Planet in Glasgow get a load of the free comic book day stuff in, I've never been in on the day but they tend to stick random selections in the bag with your purchase for a while after. Nice to think someone could get a taste of 2000AD when they're buying something else, if they're not sucked in by that cover then they're mad.
I just think it's great that 2000AD is taking another step towards (re-)recognition in the US market.

yep this and the free clickwheel origins issue are great way for us to point the uninitiated towards
will there be any free on line comic,s :-* :D
Val Semeiks drew a Wagner Dredd in prog 1374. Isn't that a misspelling of Semekis, who I presonally, remember as being a Conan artist for the US, which is why I think he's been picked?

That's right,
The Savage Sword of Conan, Web of Spider-Man, Wolverine, The Flash and plenty of
JLA strips.

And he did Lobo/Dredd after runs on Lobo with Alan Grant.

And it seems that Semeiks is the correct spelling as well.

Schweet! Stevie was a tad concerned about this due to its conspicuously absence from the list reported in the latest
Comic Shop News (http://csnsider.com/)* (distributed by Diamond & available for free from comic shops).
Unsurpising though given that their only acknowledgement of Tooth in recent years has been the announcement of Romita's Jr's cover for
Mega-City Masters vol 2. No piccie though; doubtlessly they needed the column space for Marvel's latest gone-back-to-press-with-a-variant-cover or the resurrection of Richie Rich.
It's main focus does seem to puff pieces for DC, Marvel & Dynamite. Or when they're especially daring, the latest licensing of some piece of
tat ephemera that the editors fondly remember from their childhoods (Captain Action anyone?)
We really need a concerted effort of hitting them up with Tooth-related nominations for their annual Red K awards.
*Oddly enough this also ran a feature entitled 10 for 2010, spotlighting their choice of the most significant writers who've contributed to their US-centric perspective of the form over this past year. No prizes for guessing that almost half of this list comprised of peeps who cut their chops for the House of Tharg. You honestly don't need Stevie to tell you Morrison, Millar, Ennis & Moore were all present now do you? ;)

Deal.
Just put my order in at the comic shop. Graham mentioned that he wanted to know how many I would like as it costs him to buy them (well I never), I asked how much it costs him and he said 24p a prog. In fact every comic on 'Free Comic Book Day' costs him, obviously not a lot but it all adds up for an independent like him.
Anyway, my order is in and let's just hope he can get the amount I requested (I am paying, it's only fair). So if any of you lot who live in the sticks find it hard to get a copy and really need one, I shall be giving a few away, if I get my total ;)
John, keep one for me if you get enough. Cheers

What about Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales- anyone know of anything?

Good stuff. So I'll ask the obvious question (which I think I know the answer to) how much is reprint and is any original material included?
you can flick through a select amount of pages on the freecomicday website. It's all reprint I think.
Nice one cheers hadn't seen that.

It is indeed reprinted episodes.
Stevie's just been granted a sneaky peak of this by of his local ("Keep yr hands where we can see 'em & no breathing on the pages boy!") & now has to tweet Hans Bjelke for assistance in retrieving his socks.
Blimey, Tharg couldn't have picked a more perfect opening strip. It's the rarely seen gem that simultaneously melted little Stevie's apple-cheeked phizog off whilst setting the tone of the Prog back in '77. Courtesy of the artist whom, to this reader, epitomised 2000ad from its Planck Epoch all the way through the Quasar Age of the MacManus years.
& features the other panel* that was seared into this 8 year old's synapses & shall be carried to his grave.
A brilliant, inspired choice that will hopefully set the US fanboys scurrying for a hit of Thrill Power.
Wow.

Thats awesome news, don't want to start up a 2000AD v Marvel, but 2000AD is 1000 times better and should have all the best writers!
Just had a text, they are in!
Let's hope its my full order ;)
Here's hoping Tharg, in his infinite wisdom and boundless generosity deigns to pass copies of this to the subscribers- many of whom will not have access to comic-shops.
If not I'll have to ask CF to save me one :)

That isn't something we'll be doing - the FCBD sampler is available through comic book shops only.
Fair enough. Thanks for the info LMS.
I am looking at all 20 now but can't have them until the actual day.
As I obey the law, I will be leaving them at the shop till that fun day :D
Have no fear Bolt-01, you have been good to me, so I shall give you one and a sampler ;)
As said earlier, these things are 'not' free to the comic shops and that's why I paid for all the issues that I asked for. Also as I mentioned I have left them all at the shop and am waiting for the big day.
Anyone who asked above in the thread can have one and just to wet your appetite, here is a sneaky peak of the magic 20
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t136/commandoforces/IMAG0035-1.jpg)
Put me down for one please Judge Burdis!
I'll pay all necessary postage costs, etc! :)
This thread is the first time ive heard of FCBD is it worth taking myself and my 4 year old who is expressing a like for comics,to one of these store events?
Just leave some of the FCBD free 2000AD's behind so non-2000AD readers get a little taste of Thrill-Power, after all we'll have read all the stories in there before but you get someone else hooked (the first one's free Earthlet, the rest is still surprisingly good value ;) ) and they could be a reader for life. :) You should try something different - Elric and Baltimore/Criminal Macabre perhaps? Deadliest Sharks was lettered by our own Jim Campbell, for example.

Definitely, there is plenty of all ages material in there (perhaps a majority):
www.freecomicbookday.com/comics.asp
As has been mentioned, the free comic books cost the shops money, so people going along helps encourage the shops to do it again next year, which can only help comics in general (a key to the measure of success is that it draws in new people, not just the usual folks sniffing around for freebies).
There is an international store locator here:
www.freecomicbookday.com/fcbd_global.asp
So you can find a nearby store that is involved, although if you have to travel far it might be worth phoning them to find out what they are doing for the day.
It really depends on the shop. There is one near me that goes all out and makes the freebies part of a big sidewalk sale and has a great time. I've also, though, been to shops that grudgingly admitted that they had some free comics and customers could have one apiece from a small box near the register.
I'll be at the shop near me for my 2000 AD comic first thing that morning, and will thank 'em for it by buying something else, too. :)
Awesome cover for the prog too.
Really hope it goes down a storm out there ;-)
We give away our copies free at the shop on free comic day, along with specially made up grab bags for younger readers.
John (Commando Forces) kindly offered to cover our costs due to the fact that he wanted 20.
There is some really good stuff amongst this years freebies (and we also throw in a number of back issues (especially the recent Marvel MGC range, DC's After the Watchmen and IDW's Penny Press) that I have been saving up for the event.

I'm only here for the Biscuits.
FCBD = Free Cookies & Biscuits Day?
Anyone that is interested and unable to get to a comic shop may be interested to know that I just bought a copy off Ebay. There is a guy selling about 20 x copies for 99p each with no postage charges.
Sorry don't know how to supply a link. Probably best to type in FCBD 2011 and should show up all the free comics for that day as there are about 35 listed.
Cheers for the heads up!
Disposableheroescomics are a great online company- I can vouch for them personally as they supply all my import comics.

Gets a mention on Time's website:
Quote2000 A.D.: This lively, smart-assed, frequently beautifully drawn, occasionally ultraviolent series has been running weekly in Britain since 1977, with four to six serials in each issue. A lot of its past and present series have lately been reprinted as graphic novels in the U.S., but the 2000 A.D. Free Comic Book Day special is effectively what you'd get in a typical issue of the British series, including a complete-in-six-pages Judge Dredd story (by John Wagner, Val Semeiks and Cliff Robinson), as well as Sláine, Kingdom, Shakara and Zombo stories, plus a long-out-of-print one-pager by League of Extraordinary Gentlemen artist Kevin O'Neill. (It's also the only one of these picks that might not be all that kid-friendly; as Dredd might say, use your judgement, citizen!)

SBT
It's right opposite the far left hand corner (as you look at it) of the British Museum . You can't miss it.
Gah - would love to pick up that 2000AD; very curious about the Kev O'Neill strip! Times like this (and Bristol, and Kapow, and...) I wish I still lived in the UK...
Anyway, will be interesting to hear all about it.

A sampler of some notable work from Great Britain's weekly science-fiction comics anthology; for over three decades, 2000 AD has launched many of today's best-known comics creators, and it's still going strong. This FCBD edition contains a fittingly diverse assortment of styles, subjects and approaches; not for the very young.

Happened to be near Forbidden Planet today so picked up a copy. The old Kevin O'neill Tharg strip was a right blast from the past. Odd inclusion if the idea is to attract new readers. Still nice to see it and a nice little item altogether really.
well, planet eater in southport didnt seem to be supporting fcb day at all! lucky i ordered my copy of the twoth from disposable heroes who are now my main supplier of hellboy books!
I picked it up today and thought it was a fun little introduction with a good range of strips to draw folk in. Loved the early Tharg strip and was a nice pointer to the comics deep history.
Good job all concerned I say.
For those who couldn't make it out there are free thrills online, the ones from Tharg anyway you smutty minded bunch:

The very sexy freebie got a prime-place mention in the esteemed The Comics Journal Online. With a nice big print of the lovely Jock cover and the fine line:

Review at Comics Bulletin:
QuoteEqually split between new stories about old characters and introductions to new(er) 2000 AD creations, the FCBD release is a pretty handy entry point for fans who haven't grown up on the mag. John Wagner's Judge Dredd story "S.A.M." in particular encapsulates the appeal of Dredd without drowning new readers in his convoluted mythology and intimidating back pages. Val Semeiks and Cliff Robinson's comedic art and the bright coloring by Chris Blythe help pull Dredd into the 21st century in a way that doesn't sacrifice any of the character's fierceness.
Dan Abnett and Richard Elson's Kingdom story will likely also appeal to unfamiliar readers who know Abnett mainly for his work on Marvel's cosmic characters, concerning as it does warriors perpetually fighting space bugs. The biggest surprise, though, may come from the Shakara entry, which features truly bold art from Henry Flint and a neatly bleak capsule story that could be the best representation in the release of what 2000 AD is really all about. Namely, creative violence and Dark Star-influenced sci-fi.
As a small taste of a huge bibliography, it's decidedly appetizing.
www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/130496756343455.htm
I'm impressed by the attention 2000AD's offering has had and the general positive reception too. One thing in 2000AD's favour is that it does rather lend itself to this kind of freebie and you get a good selection of complete stories.
Dark Horse are making their FCBD comics free to download for a limited time only:
http://digital.darkhorse.com/blog/2011/fcbd-comics-available-download-limited-time/
Any chance of the 2000AD one popping up on Clickwheel or in the shop?
I'm afraid not, no. If people thought they could just wait and get the free download it would undermine the whole point of the event, which is to get them into their local comic book store. We've had a few people ask why we're not supplying copies to subscribers - retailers pay for these copies as part of an effort to boost their businesses. If we cut them out of the loop, even after the fact, they wouldn't be too happy and it would probably scupper any attempt by us to build on this success with future FCBDs.
However, it's worth adding that we already have a free sampler of 'first episodes' available for download through Clickwheel: http://www.clickwheel.net/features/285

Look down the end of that review page - isn't the
Deadliest Sharks/Dinosaurs one (two?) of Jovial Jim Campbell's books? Ace!
The FCBD 2000AD was a tasty sampler though I did think the line 'Follow the adventures of Slaine/Kingdom/Shakara in 2000AD every Wednesday' after the respective strips was a little misleading for (potential) new readers since the Langley droid is off 'Slaine', 'Shakara' has come to an (apparent) end, and 'Kingdom' is currently on hiatus. As an existing subscriber though I think the best part of the FCBD prog was the 'Damage Report', for which 10/10 to whoever wrote it. :D
got mine yesterday and nice it was too ,highlight was the dredd strip,i remember it the first time but it was a welcome addition ,i would like to see a collection of some of the one shots of recent years especially a cliffy robinson collection?
Anyone fancy updating the details here (creators and where the stories were reprinted from)?:
http://comicbookdb.com/issue.php?ID=226847
I nobly declined to get one so some other Earthlet could experience some thrill-power, but it does mean I'm short on details. Might also want to throw the contents Wake's way so he can update Barney.
