FREE COMIC BOOK DAY - This Saturday!


This Saturday, May 1st is Free Comic Book Day! Be sure to visit your local comic book store and pick up some free comic books. Better yet, grab your kids and bring them with you. Comic books are a great tool to get kids interested in reading, plus these ones are FREE! Not sure where there are any comic book stores in your area? No problem, there is a handy store locator on the site. Click the square above to be brought to the official Free Comic Book Day website.

AND CHECK THIS OUT...

Sergio Aragones has created this great T-shirt design to honor the day. You can order one for yourself by clicking the picture below. One dollar from every shirt purchased goes to Sergio's charity of choice, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.

  1. Really?! Free?! Good heavens, Saturday, hurry up and get here!

    Do you know if it's specific comics being given out or is it up to the store?

  2. Hey Paula, there are a bunch of titles by different companies. The list of comics is here...

    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. I know that New England Comics is giving out 5 comics to everyone...

    Some comic book stores give out other stuff too and have signings by comic book artists.

  3. One tip for the kids out there: Get there EARLY! The "popular" titles go fast. No worries for me though. Things like Archie hang around all day.
