Loved getting to read your side of your history with FCBD and how much it means to you! Your 2001 shirt illustration is one of my favorite pieces from you! Not to mention the fantastic I Hate Image comic, which was hilarious! It was awesome getting to see Gert interact with so many of my other favorite characters.

Cant wait to pick up this years, though it's crazy to think it's been 7 years since your last interior! But the wait has been well worth it with the plethora of fantastic covers and writing we've gotten in the meantime. Not to mention shining the light on some other incredible artists like Jorge and Bean whose work I love just as much now!

Yes it is. Eric and his team are fantastic—they have a note behind the desk that basically says if it’s your work, I want it. Old or new. They make sure to save everything for me. It’s awesome!

Will be getting my copy from my LCBS on Saturday but also took advantage of your store offer and grabbed a copy of Bully Wars so I can get a signed copy of IHF! Gert is an all time fave of mine!

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve got my 11 year old hooked as well. He’s into omnibuses to read as much as he can at a time! It’s truly an awesome thing to be able to share with him!

It’s a great little shop in Ankeny Iowa!

Keep up the awesome work, we can’t wait to see what comes out next!

What a very awesome history with FCBD and a way to give back to us. I just purchased Twig Tp on the website and can’t wait for a free signed FCBD book! Also if he wants to sign the twig 😉 that would be ok lol. In the longshot that it happens the order is for ( Kory) either way thank you for giving of your time in shops and to us on the website. Stupid fresh team rocks and skottie rock! Here is a slice 🍕

Thanks Kory! And oh yea, EVERY single creator book that leaves here comes signed. Your TWIG also comes with a bookplate that is signed... so you'll be getting THREE Skottie signatures.

Like the evening hours after a frantic Christmas morning or the afternoon nap after overeating at Thanksgiving, Free Comic Book Day has come to a close for me. Now is the time to sit and more carefully go through the not-insubstantial stack of new books I’ve come home with. Not surprisingly, my first read was your IHF book. Great recap on one of my fave stories! Can’t wait to get my signed copy soon along with my first copy of the Bully Wars trade!
