The annual Fred Van Lente Day is happening right now over at COMICS SHOULD BE GOOD. Earlier this week Fred Van Lente himself participated in a live online chat about comic books history and his own work, and you can read a transcript of that event right here. Be sure to check back with CSBG all day for more Fred Van Lente Day goodness.

Dark Horse Comics is also getting in on the fun with a double dose of exclusive previews action featuring two Dec. 24 releases written by Van Lente. In "Conan the Avenger" #9, Conan and his comrades fight to free the slave girl Natala courtesy of Van Lente and artist Brian Ching. "Resurrectionists" #2 teams the writer with artists Maurizio Rosenzweig & Moreno Dinisio as Jericho Way continues to unlock the memories and abilities of his past lives.
