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...
Really?! Free?! Good heavens, Saturday, hurry up and get here!
ReplyDeleteDo you know if it's specific comics being given out or is it up to the store?
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.
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.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Thanks!
