Gumby Free Comic Book Day Special

The Gumby Free Comic Book Day Special (2007–present, Wildcard Ink) is a one-shot celebration of the iconic clay character, bringing together a roster of indie cartoonists—including Shannon Wheeler, Mark Bodé, Mike Hersh, and Rick Geary—for a playful, all-ages romp. This special issue serves as a charming, low-key entry point into Gumby's comic-book adventures, showcasing the malleable hero's enduring appeal through a mix of whimsical storytelling and offbeat art. It matters as a quirky, creator-driven tribute that keeps Gumby's spirit alive in the direct market.
