Scenes from a Free Comic Book Day...

It always starts out like this: lots of comics in nice neat piles!

Then you have a line up waiting to get in!

Shuffle in!

Shuffle out!

Then add a little FM96 and a dash of Taz!

Then the great costumes!

"Ew what's in there?!"

And the taunting: "You are a bad guy!"

Super heroes come in all ages!

And all walks of life!

Best Free Comic Book Day Ever!
L.A. Mood wants to thank FM96 and Taz for the great job helping us promote the event. Also a great big thanks to our volunteers Adam and Sarah, as well as loyal employees Tom and Luke!!!

Check out our flickr photostream here.

You can check out Whisp's experiences here.

Here is a video of the line up in front of Heroes here, curtesy of FromMyBottomStep.

***********

Patrick McGoohan
(March 19, 1928 - January 13, 2009)

Best line ever! "I am not a number, I am a free man". Gordzilla and I have been fans of The Prisoner (1967 TV series) for a long time, proud owners of the DVD collection. Patrick McGoohan wrote, produced, directed and starred in The Prisoner. We were sad to hear of his death.

He reprised his role as Number 6 in an episode of the Simpsons in 2000.

Ricardo Montalban
(November25, 1920 - January 14, 2009)

We just rewatched Star Trek: Wrath of Khan, in memory of Ricardo Montalban, definitely one of the best Trek movies and so much of it because of Ricardo's wonderful performance. A wonderful actor, charismatic, and unforgettable. For those of you too young to remember Star Trek, or Fantasy Island, Ricardo Montalban did a guest voice on Family Guy and was the Grandfather in Spy Kids 2 & 3.


2 unforgettable actors, may they rest in peace.
