Lulu, the Indie Rock Label of Digital Content, to Offer Free Comic Books on Free Comic Book Day

Free Comic Books: Coincidence... Or Well-Timed Marketing Ploy? You be the Judge!

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) May 2, 2005 -- Lulu, Independent Publishing Mecca and Print-On-Demand Marketplace to the Stars, today announced its participation in the worldwide phenomenon known as "Free Comic Book Day."

On May 7, the Lulu Comic Subversives will send out free copies of the Lulu promotional comic as part of Free Comic Book Day. There is no charge for the free comic.

To get a free comic, simply email comics@lulu.com and request a free comic. It helps if requests include a valid mailing address.

In the interest of self-disclosure, Lulu wishes to note that the Lulu free comic is a high quality example of shameless self-promotion. The glossy, double-sided book features submissions from a variety of Lulu artists, such as Jennie Breeden and John Jennings, as an example of Lulu printing and book-binding. Notes Leah Riley, a low-ranking Lulu official, "Our comic book looks good, it feels good, it probably tastes good and it's free."
