Arcana Gives Fans A Real Treat This Free Comic Book Day.

In the last six years, Free Comic Book Day has become a highly anticipated event with major publishers putting out some seriously big-time comics in hopes of gaining new readers. This year is no exception, as Arcana Studio give readers a preview of a comic that is worthy of its own movie.

In fact, it is going to be a movie! Clockwork Girl is the focus of this year’s offering from Arcana Studio. It is simultaneously being created as an animated short film and comic book. Scheduled for a 2008 release, this is a chance for readers to catch a glimpse of what is to come and Free Comic Book Day is the perfect time for the unveiling.
Scheduled during the first Saturday of May, Free Comic Book Day is a yearly promotional <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promotion_%28marketing%29> effort by the North American <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America> comic book <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_book> industry to help bring new readers into independent comic book stores. Started in 2002 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002> , the event is coordinated by the industry's single large distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Comic_Distributors> . On Free Comic Book Day, participating comic book stores give away specially printed copies of free comic books. For many stores it is the biggest day of the year for them as they may also offer huge back issue sales or in store signings by comic creators.

This year, Arcana already has plenty of creator signings scheduled. Clockwork Girl’s Kevin Hanna will appear at Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles, CA from 12pm to 2pm. Also, Clockwork Girl artist, Grant Bond will be appearing at the Planet Comicon at the Overland Park International Trade Center in Overland Park, KS. American Wasteland’s RD Hall will be at Collectibles Etc. in Lexington, KY. And in Vancouver, BC, Kade’s Sean O'Reilly will be joined by 100 Girls’ Todd Demong at Elfsar Comics from 11am to 3pm where if you bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the Vancouver Food bank you get a FREE entry into a raffle of your choice. Also at Elfsar Comics will be a couple of the very attractive B.C. Lion’s Felions cheer squad!
This is fans opportunity to meet the main players from this year’s Arcana Studio Presents!

Speaking of which, besides a 7 page sneak preview of the soon to be motion picture, Clockwork Girl, this year’s FCBD offering will showcase all-new stories from the gothic demon hunter, Kade, and the sci-fi sensation, 100 Girls. Plus, catch a glimpse of some of Arcana’s upcoming titles. All of this wrapped inside a gorgeous cover by Caanan White and Stjepan (Kade, Witchblade) Sejic and a sneak peak at the War of the Independents!
