Free Comic Book Day

Last Saturday (5th May) was international Free Comic Book Day, so I headed down to Books Kinokuniya to join the fun, then made my way to a comic store in Sydney for more goodies. I got my freebies, as did my hubby, not to mention I also bought some books. Couldn’t resist.

Bundle of free comics, which I’ll enjoy:)

One of the best things from the day was meeting an awesome author, whose work I love. Scott  Westerfeld.  He wrote the cool Leviathan and Uglies series, and he just recently launched his first ever graphic novel based on the Uglies series – Shay’s Story. Which I got a copy – signed of course.

What famous authors have you meet that made you squeal?

Book Description

Master storyteller Jane Yolen (“Owl Moon” and “Sword of the Rightful King”) and celebrated fantasy artist Rebecca Guay (“Swamp Thing” and “Magic: The Gathering”) weave a textured and lyrical tale of adventure, homelands, and heroism the hard way. 

Two hundred years ago, humans drove the dragons from the islands of May. Now, the last of the dragons rises to wreak havoc anew-with only a healer’s daughter and a kite-flying would-be hero standing in its way.

* A compelling coming-of-age fantasy with exquisite fully painted art!
