Teenage Dinosaur Comics Compilations

With Sparkplug Comic Books and Tugboat Press , Teenage Dinosaur has published three major minicomics compilations, which have been released every Free Comic Book Day since 2008.

  • Nerd Burglar Nerd Burglar is a one-off comics anthology edited by Andrice Arp and Jeremy Tiedeman that was published jointly by Teenage Dinosaur, Sparkplug Comic Books,[6] and Tugboat Press for Free Comic Book Day 2008.

Nerd Burglar was printed on vellum. It features short works by Bobby Madness, Elijah Brubaker, Chris Cilla, Sarah Oleksyk, Aron Nels Steinke,[7] Jennifer Parks, Tim Root and Shawn Granton. The cover was drawn by Chris Cilla.[8] Although free, due to the work by Bobby Madness and Chris Cilla the compilation now goes for $3–9 on eBay. With future editions, the publishers left a note in the indicia requesting that people charge "Free-99" for their joint Free Comic Book Day offerings.[9]
