(ALBANY, NY – NEW10) – The initially Saturday in May is scheduled for superheroes as well as those that like to review them. Albany Public Library was ready for Free Comic Book Day, however after that there was a distribution blooper.
“We didn’t have the comics to give out,” stated Andrea Nicolay, the executive supervisor at APL.
Their delivery of comics never ever made it. “I always have that day marked on my calendar and it was really disappointing for us but we were lucky for someone to come through,” stated Luke Martin, the library’s public info expert.
Ryan Little, a computer animation writer for Marvel Studios, that’s serviced “I Am Groot” as well as “What If” on Disney Plus, concerned the rescue after seeing a tweet from the library.
“Wednesday night I was doom scrolling, reading about the WGA strike, and it popped up in my feed that Albany Public Library had to cancel because they didn’t get their delivery,” stated Little.
Wanting to spread out a little joy, he joined neighborhood curators to conserve the day.
“Spent the last 1 day collaborating with comic book shops as well as library personnel, we gathered over 4-thousand bucks well worth of product, a thousand-plus publications, plus MCU merch to raffle off as well as hand out.
From 12-2 on Saturday any person can grab a free comic at the library’s Washington Avenue Branch as well as fulfill Ryan face to face.
“You don’t often get to meet a Marvel writer, this is an extraordinary opportunity,” stated Nikolay.
