A Galaxy Called Dallas Comics in Garland is one of the thousands of comic book shops around the world celebrating the second largest event in the comic book industry on Saturday, Oct. 27: Halloween ComicFest. Each year, thousands of participating stores give out over two million comic books to hundreds of thousands of fans to introduce them to the wonders of comics.
“Halloween ComicFest is one of the most exciting events in the industry,” said James Pickering, owner of A Galaxy Called Dallas Comics.
“Nothing goes better with Halloween than comics! This year, there are comics for the upcoming Hellboy film, and a tie-in to the upcoming Rise of the TMNT series on Nickelodeon—it’s the perfect time to discover the stories inspiring these projects. We also can’t wait for fans to dive into some super sleuthing with Nancy Drew #1 and hangout with Rocky & Bullwinkle, two of the most iconic cartoon characters of all time.”
This is the fifth year A Galaxy Called Dallas Comics celebrates HCF, giving fans of popular franchises from Marvel and DC to TMNT and Splatoon exclusive content found nowhere else. Not only will free comics be available, but fans can enjoy raffles, free candy and a costume contest!
“From a new take on classic characters like Spider-Man, to showcasing major franchises like Hellblazer and Goosebumps, there’s something for everyone,” Pickering continued. “We want to welcome everyone to A Galaxy Called Dallas Comics on Oct. 27, because there are so many amazing titles available this year and we’re confident everyone will find something they love.”
