Free Comic Book Day 2003
on March 4, 2018 at 12:01 amHere’s the 2003 Free Comic Book Day page I did for Keenspot’s anthology that year. We were asked to do something on the theme of comic books, and I guess this is what I came up with. The dream portion was a way to give a relatively-baggage-less take on It’s Walky! as a better presentation for potential new readers. This particular strip has to go here because, um, it will seem kind of a… tonal whiplash slotted in any later than this. As if that usually bothers me.
Keith’s Comix, the location of Walky’s dream sequence, is the comic book shop I frequented when I lived in Schaumburg, Illinois. It’s where I bought my Dreamwave Transformers comics! Great memories. I don’t… think there was a fence to the left of it. I think I just conveniently deleted the rest of the strip mall so I could fit Monkey Master’s face there.
Ultimate Robo-Vac #1’s cover is, of course, a riff on the Ultimate Marvel style of comic book covers, which were new at the time. *Googles* Okay, they were three years in at the time. Whatevs!

I didn’t even know this existed, so it’s cool to see some Walkyverse content I’ve never seen before. It’s not particularly interesting content, but hey
Yeah I’m definitely not a big comic book guy. My first reaction to HA saying he’ll open the comic book was to think “aren’t you supposed to do that to read them?”
But that would destroy its street value! Head Alien, you bastard! Are there no depths to which you won’t sink?
(Having read It’s Walky! previously, I know the answer is no, there aren’t.)
The only thing that could have made this funnier would have been Sal shouting something like: “Open it? You savage!”
I… Don’t get it.
Don’t you have to open the comic to read it?
Nobody *reads* comic books! You keep them mint in package or their value as investments is ruined!
It’s sad that there are people who think that anything printed today is going to have “investment value”.
