Happy Free Comic Book DayToday marks the return of Free Comic Book Day, the annual rite of Spring where publishers big and small give away comics at your FLCS. This is a perfect time to introduce the four color world to readers of all ages so get out there and snag some free reading.

If you’re wondering where you can celebrate fifteen years of freebies and get your hands on the goodies, check out this listing of participating comic shops.

Some FAQs about Free Comic Book Day:

1. What is “Free Comic Book Day?”
As the name implies, Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book specialty shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops.

2. When is Free Comic Book Day?
Free Comic Book Day is held the first Saturday in May each year.

3. Are they really free?
Yep!
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 FCBD.

4. Is every comic book store in the world doing this?
If you’re asking about convenience stores with a spinner rack of comics in a corner somewhere – the answer is no. This event celebrates the independent comic book specialty shops, thousands of which exist in North America alone. Each one is unique in its community, with a style and personality all its own, and each one carries a full line of comics, graphic novels, toys and related products.

While we hope every one of these shops will take part, each shop determines on its own whether or not to participate. You can check our shop locator for a comic shop near you.
