Halloween ComicFest Mini-Comics: Press Release: "(Baltimore, MD) -- (July 6, 2017) -- Be the coolest house on the block this Halloween by handing out comic books to trick-or-treaters with the Halloween ComicFest mini-comic packs. Each pack contains 25 mini-comics appropriate for readers of all ages, and they're available to pre-order exclusively from your local comic shop throughout July. Although Halloween ComicFest is on Saturday, October 28th at participating local comic shops, these mini-comic packs will be available for pick up and purchase starting on September 27th and throughout the month of October leading up to Halloween.

Give kids an extra treat in their Halloween goodie bags with 12 great mini-comic titles to choose from, including Donald Duck, Hotel Transylvania, Pokemon, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Archie's Madhouse, and more. Each pack carries a retailer price of $4.99 and contains 25 copies each of a single kid-friendly mini-comic title. Parents, educators, comic book fans--and of course, dentists!--can feel at ease knowing they're providing kids with a healthy alternative to candy while giving kids a fun surprise on Halloween.

"The mini comics are a perfect alternative or complement to Halloween candy," said Halloween ComicFest spokesperson Michael Moccio. "You won't have to worry about dietary preferences or restrictions with these fun stories that inspire kids to read. With recognizable characters from companies like Disney and Dreamworks, the mini-comics are perfect to pass out on Halloween, use as party favors, or give as classroom treats!"

For an easier order process, fans are encouraged to download the Mini-Comic Order Form to fill out and place orders at their local comic shop.
