Free Comic Book Day Spotlight: Oni Press!
Each day up to the April 2004 online order deadline, Diamond Daily will
turn the spotlight on a Gold or Silver Free Comic Book Day publisher. We hope
that this will allow you to make the most informed buying decision when
purchasing your FCBD editions.
Remember: You may order titles from Silver Sponsors in any quantities you wish.
In 2004, Oni once again offers a brace of terrific titles: Judd Winick's Adventures of Barry Ween Secret Crisis Origin File FCBD Edition (APR040041J, $0.28) and Love Fights #1/Facing the Goddess Flip Book FCBD Edition (APR040042J, $0.28), with work by acclaimed creators Greg Rucka, Scott Morse, and Andi Watson!
Quick Synopses:
The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius: Secret Crisis Origin Files
This edition reprints the story of when Barry Ween met his hyperactive best friend, Jeremy, giving new readers the chance to sample the series and discover how Barry's life as the world's most intelligent boy got rolling. Plus, this story leads directly into the Gorilla Warfare trade paperback, Barry's most ambitious adventure yet!
Love Fights #1/Everest: Facing the Goddess Preview
A special edition preview flip-book just for Free Comic Book Day! On one side, you get the complete first issue of the Andi Watson ongoing super-hero romance series, Love Fights; on the other, the first 8 pages of the new Greg Rucka and Scott Morse mini-series, Everest, which kicks off in full-color in August!
Please note: Both of the above titles are intended for mature readers.
Why They're Good for Free Comic Book Day (And You!):
One of the best points about the Silver Sponsor books is that their existence allows each retailer to "customize" his or her free comics selection.
Oni is a publisher with a broad spectrum of available titles, and Free Comic Book Day proves it with two radically different titles. On the one hand, Barry Ween gives you the chance to capture the interest of humor fans, as well as those who know Winick from his work on Green Arrow or appearance on The Real World. Meanwhile, the FCBD flip book boasts the high-concept Love Fights as well as work from Greg Rucka, known even outside the comic book industry for his crime novels.
Show newcomers either book and ask which they like more: “Huck Finn with the world's biggest brain” or “super-heroes meet Sleepless in Seattle.” You're guaranteed to get the attention of readers who otherwise wouldn't be interested in comics.
How to Use Them:
Be sure to add these titles to your shelf in advance of FCBD; when customers want more Winick, Rucka, or Watson, you'll be able to handle their requests with ease!
