from FUBAR Press<\/a>:<\/p>\n

FUBAR PRESS, publisher of the Kickstarter funded New York Times Best Seller FUBAR: Empire of the rising Dead are teaming up with fellow Independent publisher 215 INK to bring free comics to shops all across the country via the brand new Indie comic distributor Liber on FREE COMIC BOOK DAY. Both publishers are contributing 28 page stand alone comics to the event and are launching a Kickstarter campaign to secure funding for the printing of those comics.<\/p>\n

DONATE TO CAMPAIGN BY VISITING\u00a0http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1607639297\/fubar-press-215-ink-free-comic-book-day-2012<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cKickstarter has been an immense game changer for independent comics in general and small-press indie comics in particular. A few years ago we couldn\u2019t even hope to participate in an event like Free Comic Book Day. Kickstarter has been great because not only does it help us raise funds, but it also is an excellent tool to help spread the word on events like FCBD and introduce comic shops to a new distributor like Liber.\u201d says Jeff McComsey, Editor in Chief of FUBAR PRESS.<\/p>\n

Andrew DelQuadro of 215 INK had this to add, \u201cMy only regret is that we didn\u2019t start this project earlier and pull in a few more of our fellow indie publishers and make this a gigantic event. Next year We want to go bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

215 INK and FUBAR PRESS are asking for a modest $1,200 in their campaign but have said, \u00a0\u201cThe more money raised, the more books will be printed and the more shops we can ship our books to.\u201d<\/p>\n
