David Romeo, Jr. of Comics on the Green in Scranton, Pennsylvania tells us what happened at his store on Free Comic Book Day (see '2005 Free Comic Book Day in the Books'), where the event just keeps getting bigger:
If this year is an indication, Free Comic Book Day will stand on its own as a terrific family event that just keeps getting bigger! We were lucky to have Joe Linsner and Eva Hopkins, both of Dawn fame, signing here this year, and our crowd was bigger than previous years. Joe was doing sketches to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, and we raised almost $500.00 in a relatively short amount of time. Joe and Eva were extremely nice to the fans, and were great ambassadors for the comic world. Fans were in a terrific mood all day, and didn't mind waiting in line up to an hour to meet the artists.
