Greetings ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM fans! It’s me, “Action” Steve with the details on our 2023 ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM FREE COMIC BOOK DAY Comic!
FCBD-MINUS ONE WEEK AND COUNTING…
At the time of this writing, FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023 is just one week away — and this year, we here at ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM Headquarters (It’s really just me) will continue our years-long streak of producing our own FREE COMIC for the big event!
SKETCHY SITUATION…
This year’s ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM FREE COMIC BOOK DAY comic will present the first SIX pages of the upcoming 28-page ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM #15, in its sketch layout form, which will give AFK fans a taste of the new issue, while also offering some insight into the AFK creative process. The AFK 2023 freebie will be a mini-comic, like our previous FCBD comics — smaller trim size than a regular AFK issue, and black & white from cover to cover.
Everyone who stops by our affiliated comic shop — FUNNYBOOKS Comics & Stuff, in Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey — on FREE COMIC BOOK DAY (Saturday, May 6th this year) will get a FREE copy. For those who can’t make it, we will be sure to post the FREE issue here at actionfigurekingdom.com on our “Free Reads” section the first chance we get.
WHO WILL RETURN?
EVERYONE LOVES A MYSTERY…
The cover of the AFK 2023 FCBD mini-comic will pose the question, “Which ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM character will return in AFK#15?”, and will pay homage to the famous “BRADY BUNCH grid” by featuring NINE AFK characters — one of which will return in the upcoming issue (I came-up with the interactive, “who will return?” concept, but I have to thank our pal, ZIGGY for the BRADY BUNCH idea. — I am a huge BRADY BUNCH fan and had a lot of fun drawing the cover). Another cool aspect of this year’s AFK FCBD cover is, it doubles as a mystery… I’ve always loved comic book covers that pose a question (like, “Who will die?” or “Who will join the team?”) which will be answered inside the issue. — And indeed, AFK fans will find out who returns in AFK#15, inside our FCBD 2023 issue.
Who do YOU think will return? – Find out on FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023! – Action Steve
