Press Release
Toronto, ON - Aug 17 2007 - Looking to entice new fans to the comic market, Toronto-based UDON Comics will be distributing over 20,000 free comics to fans at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle on August 24th-26th.
“Our giveaway comics won’t be samplers or promo issues. These are regular full-sized issues of our Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Rival Schools and Exalted comic series. We want to get our comics in to the hands of thousands of video game fans,” says Erik Ko, UDON’s Editor in Chief. “With the 20th anniversary of Street Fighter coming up in 2008, now is the perfect time to remind people how much they love these properties and show them the quality product we publish.”
In addition to the randomly-selected free comic inside each PAX loot bag, members of UDON will be at the convention selling exclusive comics, artbooks and posters as well as sketching and signing for attendees. In particular, fans of video game and anime artwork will want to snap up copies of the convention exclusive ‘Art of Capcom’ brand new 300+ page hardcover artbook which sold out at Anime Expo and Comic-Con International earlier this summer.
