Bisons To Hold Free Comic Book Day

May 15, 2008 - International League (IL1)
Buffalo Bisons News Release


Based on a fantastic fan reaction, the Buffalo Bisons and Marvel Entertainment have once again joined forces to create an exclusive baseball-themed comic book featuring Marvel Entertainment characters Spider-Man™, Iron-Man™, the Fantastic Four™ and the Incredible Hulk™. The Bisons will hand out 3,000 copies of the Triple-A Baseball Heroes comic book on the 2nd Annual Comic Book Day, Sunday, July 13 against the Louisville Bats (1:05 p.m.).

The Bisons copy of Triple-A Baseball Heroes will feature a specially-designed cover with Bisons pitcher Adam Miller.

Marvel Entertainment and Triple-A have also teamed up to hold this giveaway at all 30 ballparks at the Triple-A level. The Bisons specially-designed comic book will ONLY be available on July 13 at Dunn Tire Park.

The Triple-A Baseball Heroes comic book unites the Marvel Super Heroes with Triple-A teams to protect their ballparks from the menace of the Fantastic Four's longtime nemesis, the Mole Man, and his creatures from Monster Island. Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and the Hulk are also in the park to lend a hand. Can the combined might of Triple-A baseball and the world's greatest super heroes save the day?

"The response by baseball and comic book fans throughout the country was such that it made sense to produce a second book to be released during this 2008 this season that will again be distributed in each of Triple-A Baseball's 30 ballparks," said Randy Mobley, President of the International League. "Triple-A Baseball and Marvel got off to a great start in the first year of our relationship and we continue to discuss innovative ways to expand this partnership as we have learned there is significant overlap in the fan base of both entities. It is always fun to be part of a new venture and this relationship is no different."

The book, entitled Triple-A Baseball Heroes, is penciled by Marvel artist Mario Gully and scripted by Marvel writer Marc Sumerak and Buffalo Bisons Director of Sales, Christopher Hill. British painter John Watson (Uncanny X-Men, Civil War: Front Line, World War Hulk: Front Line) has created the variant covers for the event in Buffalo as well as in Columbus, Durham and Memphis.
