DECEMBER 12, MILWAUKIE, OR—What’s better than a trip to your local comic shop? Free copies of your favorite Dark Horse titles for Free Comic Book Day 2014!

In addition to new stories from your current Dark Horse favorites, Dark Horse will feature the long-awaited Juice Squeezers by David Lapham, the Eisner Award–winning creator of the smash hit Stray Bullets, writing and drawing his own series again for the first time in five years.

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Sokka follows Suki as she gives a lesson in manners and encourages a young girl’s strength. Itty Bitty Hellboy has fun toying with nemesis Rasputin, and the Juice Squeezers crew leap into action to defend one of their own against a persistent bully. Hilarity ensues!

This promises to be Dark Horse’s biggest yet, with not one, but two free comics, each packed full with three separate stories. Stay tuned for more details on the Free Comic Book Day: Silver Edition next week!
