Aspen Comics Details Free Comic Book Day 2014 Schedule

Saturday is Free Comic Book Day. All the publishers will offer up free versions of some of their flagship titles and some publishers will also be at some stores. Aspen Comics is one of those publishers and they'll be sending out some of their creators to stores all over, in addition to their offering. The publisher will offer a FCBD Worlds of Aspen 2014 flip book featuring exclusive zero issue stores for upcoming series Damsels in Excess and The ZooHunters, as well as two pullout posters for titles Jirni and Lola XOXO.

Vince Hernandez’s Damsels features all the trappings of a fantastical land: kingdoms, magic, talking animals – but no men. With a ancient threat looming, the princesses of the Five Realms will find their differences threaten to tear them apart. The ZooHunters, written and penciled by Peter Steigerwald, is an intergalactic adventure about Abros, a ZooHunter – someone who captures animals across the galaxies for zoos on various planets – who gets to know his son Ty while training him to follow in his footsteps, all while trying to keep ahead of the forces that would impede them.

Full press release and signing schedule below.
