I volunteered at my local comics shop for Free Comic Book Day. The owners ordered some copies of every single title, which was really great - we had something for just about anybody. Of course, we had the First Second offering. I promoted it to anyone who walked around to the mature readers table, and most of them took it! Sometimes all I had to say was "it's by Eddie Campbell!" Sometimes I went on to talk about it being a mystery/western, and sometimes I said it shared some elements with "The Fugitive." It all worked. Of course I picked up my own copy of it, and now I can't wait for the full book to come out.

i love comics so so much
:) ;)
