Comics for Halloween

If you love comics and want to promote literacy, then Diamond Comic Distributors has a deal for you. In conjunction with Archie Comics, Gemstone Publishing, and Marvel, Diamond is putting together a Halloween comic deal. Click here for the press release.

Rather than Butterfingers, Tootsie Rolls, and popcorn balls you can give the gift of literacy in the form of mini-comics. That’s right. You can be the coolest house on the block, and the healthiest for that matter, by giving out comics on Halloween night rather than the traditional sugary fare. These will be smaller comics designed to fit in most trick-or-treat buckets and bags and each will be 16 pages.

There will be three different comics, one from each of the three publishers. They will be available in packs of 25 and are supposed to ship on September 27. No word yet on how much the bundles will cost and if the bundles will include all three titles or just one title per bundle.


Uncle Scrooge: The Hound of the Whiskervilles
From Gemstone Publishing
By Carl Barks


Marvel Adventures: Iron Man
From Marvel Comics
(cover not yet available)
B Fred Van Lente and Michael Golden


Little Archie Halloween
From Archie Comics
(cover not yet available)
By Dexter Taylor and Bob Bolling


Here's the problem: You need to act fast. There will only be a small run on these comics, so you need to book it to your local comic book store and order yours this week. I have already ordered mine.
