Fantom Comics newsletter excerpts

- NEW COMIC WEDNESDAY SURPRISE: FCBS FIRE POWER ISSUE & TRADE COMBO:
A Free Comic Book Summer special available today, July 29th! It's Robert Kirkman and Chris Samnee's Fire Power #1 Free Comic Book Day Special Edition - this is the beginning of a brand new series, so grab your free first issue this week! And to celebrate, we are offering the previously released Fire Power Volume 01 trade - Prelude for the special price of $5 - a complete six issue story that lays the groundwork for the ongoing series. Supplies are limited for this $5 offer, so act fast!

You can find both items on fantomcomics.com by searching "Fire Power" at the top or stop by the shop since we're open for Phase 2!

- ANOTHER FREE COMIC BOOK SUMMER SATURDAY COMES JULY 25TH AT FANTOM:
FCBDay was cancelled, but we have FCBSummer to help us get through this strange time! FCBS will take place at Fantom Comics on Saturdays from July 18th through September 12th and will release up to six titles weekly. You can either pick up FCBS titles in store or through www.fantomcomics.com by searching "Store Exclusives" at the top of the page.

This year has caused a great deal of hardship, so we're suggesting that anyone who'd like to grab some free books to donate to DC non-profits like this week's partner: Bread For The City (breadforthecity.org). You can donate in store at checkout or through www.fantomcomics.com by searching "FCBS" at the top of the page, with minimum starting at $5 and no max threshold.

FCBS Books Available This Saturday, August 1st:

Archie Comics- Archie Blue Ribbon Presents
Dark Horse Comics- Stranger Things/Minecraft
Dynamite Entertainment- The Boys #1

- EVENT RESCHEDULE! MOVED FROM 8/1 TO 8/22:
SATURDAY, AUGUST 22nd @ 4PM VIA FACEBOOK LIVE: BLACK EXCELLENCE BOOK CLUB: FIRE!! THE ZORA NEALE HURSTON STORY WRITTEN & DRAWN BY PETER BAGGE:

Hurston challenged the norms of what was expected of an African American woman in early 20th century society. The fifth of eight kids from a Baptist family in Alabama, Hurston's writing prowess blossomed at Howard University, and then Barnard College, where she was the sole black student. She arrived in NYC at the height of the Harlem Renaissance and quickly found herself surrounded by peers such as Langston Hughes and Wallace Thurman.

If you would like to pre-order the book to have in time for the event, please reach out to us via email (fantomhq@fantomcomics.com), phone (202-241-6498) or coming into the store since we're open for Phase 2 and reserve your copy today!
