ICv2: Jason Bardyla of Happy Harbor on FCBD Date

JASON BARDYLA OF HAPPY HARBOR ON FCBD DATE

'Make This Consistent'

Posted by ICv2 on August 1, 2004 @ 11:00 pm CT

Jason Bardyla of Happy Harbor Comics & Toys in Edmonton, Alberta, Vancouver, BC, and two other cities saw the choices for the date for Free Comic Book Day 2005 (see 'FCBD 2005'), and sent us his thoughts:

I am begging retailers, let's make this consistent. Let's bring Free Comic Book Day back to May and leave it there. If 2005 sees FCBD in May, then has another boom when Batman (might) hit the screens in mid-July then we win twice! Let's defy what comics fear and put some consistency in this increasing important 'annual' event.
