Comics has announced that it will offer Tomb Raider
#1/2 free to all retailers as the publisher's
contribution to the upcoming Free Comic Book Day
event on Saturday, May 4. According to the company,
Image will absorb all printing costs for the comic,
so retailers will only pay shipping charges for
their usual order.

vice-president/publisher Jim Valentino said that
if retailers are to give these books away, he
felt Image should give them to retailers. He also
noted that it was his hope retailers would be
inspired to advertise the event locally.
"Let's
not let another golden opportunity pass us by,
regardless of what any nay-sayers may say. This
is the first time in comics history publishers,
distributors, retailers, fans and creators can
do something positive together. Let's roll up
our sleeves and really work to make this event
as successful as possible."
