EDITOR’S NOTE: Locally, THE MAROON HORNET in Oxford, PA and the OXFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY are co-ordinating their participation in this special event. Plans include an Escape Room at the Library, Zombie Face Painting at Maroon Hornet, and a Zombie Walk Contest at the Library. However, don’t assume that every store celebrating Walking Dead Day will be doing the same activities and/or will have available all the swag that’s featured below in this article provided by the Free Comic Book Day organizers. Stores have to buy these giveaway and incentive items. (Don’t get me started again on Free Comic Book Day not supporting comic shops enough. See my May article for more details). Captain Blue Hen in Delaware is also participating but on an even lesser scale than Maroon Hornet. Be advised: If there is something below that is of particular interest to you, contact your local comic shops to see if they are making it available or can get it for you later.
from the Free Comic Book Day website . . . . .
