“Free Comic Book Day is an annual event founded on the belief that for every person out there, there’s a comic book that they’ll love.” More than five million of them will be given away this year, all across the United States and in other countries, too!
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a afficionado, there’s a comic book for you!
Cave Comics, in Newtown, is ready with a selection of approximately 20,000 issues. You’ll find them ranging from the Silver Age to current titles. But it’s just one of the area establishments participating in the event, according to Newtown Patch.
Unable to get to Newtown? Not to worry. Free Comic Book Day has provided an online locator so you can find a participating shop nearest you! And if you happen to be out of the country, the locator may be able to find a local participating shop near your hotel!
“Every year, on the first Saturday in May, the industry comes together to give away free comics and encourage fans, both old and new, to flock to the best place in the comic book community: local comic shops,” freecomicbookday.com states on its website. “These are the hubs of our community, where fans can come together and discover new comics, make lifelong friends, and find a sense of commonality.”
