Free Comic Book Day was Saturday, May 4th, and the Two Guys with PhDs Talking about Comics were at Lone Star Comics in Plano, TX. They spoke with staff and customers about what FCBD titles people were getting, which ones were going quickly, what was in some of their FCBD issues, and how publishers were making the best of this annual event. Along the way they talked with a variety of folks, including aspiring comics writer Nick Bridwell, Jess from Rainbow Runners, Chris Danger from SCNS:Live (also on-location at Lone Star Comics), and of course their ol’ friend and the scheduling manager of the Plano Lone Star Comics, Shea Hennum. (A young comics fan in a cool Superman outfit almost came by to talk with Andy and Derek, but he was spooked out at the last minute by Chris from SCNS:Live.) The shop was packed with customers, and as a result, the Plano location of Lone Star Comics surpassed its previous single-day sales record! On top of that, the city’s mayor, Phil Dyer, worked with the shop to declare May 4, 2013 official “Free Comic Book Day” in the city of Plano. Later in the day, there was a panel discussion held at the store, including contributions from bloggers, podcasters, local artists, and publishers. All of that and some damned good comics. What more could one ask for on FCBD? Listen to this special “Point One” episode and experience the fun!
