TOMB RAIDER For Free!
By: Rob AllstetterDate: Wednesday, January 23, 2002
Image Comics has announced that it will offer TOMB RAIDER #1/2 free to all retailers as the publisher's contribution to the upcoming Free Comic Book Day event on Saturday, May 4.
According to the company, Image will absorb all printing costs for the comic, so retailers will only pay shipping charges for their usual order.
"But there are a couple of caveats," said Image vice-president/publisher Jim Valentino. "One, we are printing a limited supply and two, we will not be offering a poster."
Valentino said that if retailers are to give these books away, he felt Image should give them to retailers, adding, "It only seems fair."
He also noted that it was his hope retailers would be inspired to advertise the event locally.
"Let's not let another golden opportunity pass us by, regardless of what any nay-sayers may say. This is the first time in comics history publishers, distributors, retailers, fans and creators can do something positive together. Let's roll up our sleeves and really work to make this event as successful as possible."
