This year, almost 2,000 comic book stores across the continent and around the planet plan to give away 2 MILLION comic books absolutely free! With up to 44 titles to choose from, the selection of books on May 5 will include comic books for all ages and tastes.
Free Comic Book Day is the perfect way to start off a summer of high adventure, especially since it will be held the day after SPIDER-MAN 3 hits theaters. There’s never been a better time to be a comic book fan, and you can keep up with the latest developments with official Free Comic Book Day updates like this one!
If you’re not sure which stores in your area are participating, check the Free Comic Book Day website in April and use the FCBD Locator on the home page, www.freecomicbookday.com. The website also has tons of information about the event, including special events, what special edition comics are available and how you can help spread the word!
