What is Free Comic Book Day?
It is an annual event that began in 2002. On this day each year, participating comic book specialty shops across North America give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops. The video below explains in further detail.
When is Free Comic Book Day?
Free Comic Book Day is held the first Saturday in May each year.
Are they really free? Yes! Different shops have policies on how many free comics you can receive, but you will receive at least one free comic if you enter a participating shop location. Check with your retailer for their policies and plans for Free Comic Book Day.
Can I grab any comic I want? Shops will be giving away special comics for the event ONLY. The video below shows the choices this year, or you can view the full catalog.
What Else Can I Expect At The Event?
Each location will vary in activities offered, but these events are family friendly. Some of the things you might find include:
Superheroes to entertain the kiddos
Cosplay
Costume contests
Face painting
Artists doing their work live
Door prizes
Food and drinks (free or not)
Games and activities
And of course, SALES!
