Free Comic Book Day was an annual event that is celebrated every first Saturday in the month of May, but due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, all related events and public gatherings in the country were halted. Most event organizers had to adapt to different means of still putting out ‘an event’ minus the human interaction, which made “Zoom” an immediate go to software to communicate. FCBD of course was canceled, but Diamond Distributors who publish the titles that are supposed to be given away have continued to produce the titles and they were distributed every week from July to September. In the Philippines, it was a different story and amidst that cancellation, you’ll find the ones who really supported the stores. |
