Free Comic Book Day 2010 Postcard

I designed the front and back of this year’s postcard for the Free Comic Book Day (It’s May 1st! Get to your local shop for free comics!).

John Dudas of Carol and John’s Comic Book Shop in Cleveland asked me to make the ad that will run in The Independent for the next few weeks as well as these postcards that will be handed out in the shop to anyone that comes in. 

I purchased FCBD and 05.01.10 wood type at an antique store called Silver Eagle Antiques in Cuyahoga Falls last Thursday. It was awesome to use them. I feel like its been awhile since they got some use. The rest came from the Type High Press at Kent State. Colors are inspired by the original logo designed by Mikey Burton of Little Jacket.
