In Dallas, TX, this year’s Free Comic Book Day has also been declared Comic
Book Appreciation Day in honor of CAPE! (Comic and Pop-Culture Expo)! The
biggest Free Comic Book Day event in Texas is honored to receive this and will
be honored with a certificate.

“Recognizing the hard work that comic book creators put into their books
and paying respect to them is what CAPE! is about,” says Zeus Comics and Toys
owner Richard Neal, “The fact that the City of Dallas is recognizing this as
well is a true honor.”

CAPE! also promotes children’s literacy by giving away over 300 child
specific gift bags filled with comic books designed just for them. “It’s
important that we encourage people of all ages to read and what could be a
better medium than comic books,” says HeroRealm.com founder Alex Hamby.

CAPE! is in its second year and was created by Zeus Comics and Toys, Scott
Kurtz of PvPonline.com fame and the people at HeroRealm.com as a venue to
recognize comic creators and the work they do. Scott Hinze of Fanboy Radio will
be back this year to MC the event. The first year saw over 2,500 people and
three times that are expected this year. With a guest list that includes Bryan
Hitch, Gail Simone, Tony Bedard, Marc Andreyko, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Lea
Hernandez, James O’Barr, Benn Dunn and more, CAPE! is set to be one of the
biggest Free Comic Book Day events in the country!
