Free Comic Book Day

REAL SUPERHERO HONORED BY LOCAL COMIC BOOK SHOPS ON SATURDAY MAY 3rd

The first Saturday in May represents a holiday for comic fans across the world know as Free Comic Book Day, where participating comic store retailers distribute free comics to anyone with no strings attached. A day where anyone can read about and dream of becoming superheroes, introducing millions to the unique art form and storytelling method that has delighted and inspired millions more.

This year however, Free Comic Book Day has a new meaning in the eyes of the local comic stores in Columbus, as they will all be honoring a very special local hero. On April 10, 2008 Diane Sharp, a crossing guard at Scioto Darby Elementary school in Hilliard, was killed saving the life of Christian Engle, a second grader. Sharp was very heroic and tried to protect the child with her own body and in the end, sacrificed her life to save another.

Jamie Colegrove, owner of Packrat Comics located near Scioto Darby Creek Elementary, said “It truly was amazing how quickly Diane reacted to protect Christian we wanted to honor her sacrifice and heroism.” Colegrove continued “Free Comic Book Day seemed like an excellent opportunity to acknowledge her as our own superhero.”

All comic retailers in the community whole heartedly agreed. Each of the participating stores in Columbus will be accepting donations on behalf of the Sharp and Engle families for both the Key Bank and Fifth Third Funds recently established. In addition, many of the stores will be contributing and offering other opportunities for all patrons to enjoy.

So on Saturday, May 3rd, stop by your local comic shop, get a free comic and support this true superhero and those she left behind.

Thank you for you generosity...

We'd like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who came out yesterday in support of the food drive we hosted yesterday. We filled 6 large boxes full with canned goods and other non-perishable food items that will be headed out to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank later this week. Thanks to Uko and M.a.d., Zone Troopers and Sean Fornery for thier time and sharing their art work with us. A speical thanks goes out to Matt & James for teaching all the kids how to play D&D and Heroclix during our demos. I'm sure we've begun to create several future gamers from the fun they all had Saturday. Also, thanks goes out to Donna and Chris for bringing in food for our after hours party and Chris W. for the Guitar Hero fun had by all (even though nobody wanted to play against him due to his skill.)

Again, thanks for all of your generousity, you have made hungry people happy, artists egos inflated and shop keepers satisfied with another wonderful party where fun was had by all.

And if you didn't get your free comics or superhero buttons, stop by Chick-fill-a on Monday, Oct. 29 when we will be there during the school spirit night spreading the joy of collecting and reading comics.

Marysville Store Now Open

The permits with the city have been approved, vendor's license has been posted and comics are on the wall. Packrat Comics at 109 E. Fifth Street in Marysville will be officially open for business on October 17 at 1pm. The normal hours will be from 11am-7pm Monday-Saturday and 12-5pm on Sundays. On Wednesday we will be opening at 1pm as the new comics will be sorted at the Hilliard location until further notice.

It just so happens that the 17th is Bobby's birthday so he has already claimed ownership to this store once we retire or should some horrific accident befalls both Jamie and I. So be nice to the 12 year old.

Hope to see you all there soon!
