It's time yet again for Hey Kids, Comics! after our All-Con hiatus!

This week Andrew was determined to explore the varied world of freebie comic books.  From marketing tie-ins to public service works, there have been a lot of free comics over the years, even decades before the International Free Comic Book Day.
