Free Comic Book Day is well and truly with us. I just cycled into London on a beautiful sunny day to pick up what I could. Consider this part one as I take a break for lunch on Poland Street at Bodeans, where I am typing this right now.
Central London is down to just Forbidden Planet and Gosh Comics now, though I did pop into the Cartoon Museum. Forbidden Planet is, as usual, giving away bags at the door, and I grabbed one while cycling past. There is a sale inside, which I will investigate later. Gosh Comics is more involved from the start, bags of free comics for kids are free at the door, others require a purchase and a snaking line from the till down into the basement.
I bumped into comedian and actor Ben Moor on the stairs, who I know of old. Gosh Comics always gets the comedy celebs in on Free Comic Book Day it seems. But I also got to help someone outside who desperately wanted the Energon Universe comic; I was happy to make his day with a little swappage for the Blood Hunt. Swapping comics was always such a major thing as a kid, I am glad to see it return for Free Comic Book Day.
