Who says you can't get something for nothing? On Free Comic Book Day (this Saturday, May 5), stop in your local comic book shop and ask for a free copy of Comics 101, our new primer created just for the event. If they don't have any, then order yours at our webstore (www.twomorrows.com) by Sunday, and it'll only cost you enough to cover our printing and postage costs. After Sunday, we're going to start charging more for it, to help recoup our expenses (but it'll still be a bargain!).

Also, this weekend only, you can download FREE PDF COMPLETE ISSUES of the following mags, just by logging in and putting them in your shopping cart:

• Alter Ego #65
• Back Issue #21
• Jack Kirby Collector #47
• Write Now #14
• Draw #12
• Rough Stuff #3

Because of contractual obligations, we can only give these away this Saturday and Sunday, and then we've got to take them down. So if you're never sampled all of our mags, here's your chance to try an ENTIRE ISSUE, absolutely FREE! Go get 'em, and enjoy!

Best regards,
John Morrow

Editor Bob McLeod's editorial on page 2 of Rough Stuff #3 (out Jan.10th) includes a listing of the websites of the artists who've been featured in Rough Stuff, and of course george-perez.com is listed too.
