Comic books have always been a rather niche market in Singapore, but recently, there have been more buzz concerning graphic novels on our tiny island.
Thanks probably to the superhero/ supernatural-related TV and movies which have proved popular with the mass-market crowd lately!
So, instead of Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) focused mainly at a local comic store called GnB Comics this year, there were two larger bookstores getting into the fray as well. They were popular book store chain, Kinokuniya and a fledgling store for the geeks, aptly named Harris Planerds. In fact, Planerds was holding the FCBD events to coincide with its official opening at the centrally Orchard Road-located 313@Somerset mall!
