D.R. & Quinch are back for Free Comic Book Day 2018. If you're not aware of D.R. & Quinch, they are like Beavis & Butthead but with less toilet humor.

takyon: Free Comic Book Day is a promotional event that started in California in 2002, and has since spread nationwide and internationally. You can use the event's store locator to find a participating shop near you. Some locations will have concurrent events, sales, signings, etc.

Here's a list of comics (with cover images) that will be available, and here's the list sorted by age group. One of the comics is "Defend Comics" by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, containing stories which can "open up a dialogue about the First Amendment with children, but [...] are sure to delight parents and kids alike!"

Previously: "Free Comic Book Day" Event Features Neil Gaiman, The Simpsons

    So do you only get to pick one or can you have a choice of many/all?

    Ah, nostalgia!

    Hmm, come to think of it, as I've just been made redundant, and I've recently blagged *all* the 2000 ADs (torrents, Soulseek & aMule) I'm beginning to see a pattern emerge..

    D.R. & Quinch/2000 AD
    Tory Government..
    Tanked Economy on shaky grounds
    On the Dole..

    Time to embrace with open arms that 'Britain in the 80's' Zeitgeist!

    Mind you, it wasn't that much fun the first time around, at least this time I've got full internet access (as opposed to the intermittent ARPANET access I had back then..) and I own my house (as opposed to renting a room in a house from seedy landlords).

    Anyone else having problems? Tried putting in my address and it errored. My zip code gave me a map centered on the right location (town in New Mexico), but listed only a single store, in Memphis, Tennessee, at a distance of 0* miles. Considering that I'm substantially closer to California, that result seems... unlikely.
