Four years ago, a comics-oriented magazine by the name of Savant tried to organize International Read A Comic Book in Public Day. Since I live in Canada, and I tend to go outside as little as possible in March, I proposed an alternative, hence the Fifth Annual International Read A Comic Book Naked Day.

There has been some confusion as to the criteria for participating in International Read A Comic Book Naked Day. It’s actually very simple. You must read a comic while naked. Your choice of location, reading material and the company you choose to share this special day with are all up to you.

Sadly, there are still some people who are comic-deprived. Therefore, every year I present a small selection of online treasures to help those who either don’t read comics or who are looking for an alternative to what they normally read. Enjoy, and Happy International Read A Comic Book Naked Day!

Briefer’s Frankenstein. Dick Briefer’s creature is a hoot, and perfect for the Monster Kid in anyone.

Kirby Monster Comics. You can’t go wrong with the King, baby. Dozens of comics that walk like a man!

The Shadow meets The Batman. The weed of crime bears a cowardly, superstitious lot.

Shoot. The unpublished issue of Hellblazer that made Warren Ellis walk from the book.

The Monster of Dread End. John Stanley of Little Lulu fame crafts one of the creepiest comics ever printed. Scroll down for the full story.

For even more comics, check out my parallel post over at Flat Earth. Rock out with all your genitals out!
