On Saturday May 5th, Thom Zahler Art Studios will team up with the Lake County Captains to bring Free Comic Book Day to the ballpark. Free Comic Book Day is a national outreach program that promotes the comic book art form by encouraging the public to stop by their local comic book specialty store and receive a free comic book.
"Since my newest issue of Love and Capes is being exclusively distributed nationwide in comic shops on May 5th as part of Free Comic Book Day, I thought it might be fun to extend the idea to baseball fans right here in my home town.", said cartoonist Thom Zahler. With the support of the Lake County Captains and Comic Heaven in Willoughby, all fans attending the 1:05pm Captains vs. Blue Claws game at Classic Park will receive a free random copy of Love and Capes, issues #2 and #3. The newest issue, #4 is only available at comic book specialty stores that same day.
Love and Capes is the ongoing story of Abby and Mark. She's a bookstore owner. He's an accountant who also happens to be the city's top super powered crime fighter, The Crusader. This situation offers some hilarious and offbeat challenges to their romantic relationship. Love and Capes is written and drawn by Thom Zahler, an award-winning cartoonist and illustrator, based out of Timberlake, Ohio. Zahler has worked in the comics field for over ten years, and his artwork has appeared all over the world.
The Lake County Captains are the single-A farm club for the Cleveland Indians, based in Eastlake, Ohio. Their website is www.captainsbaseball.com.
