By Julia Briggs, Macaroni KID Peoria May 2, 2024

My 9-year-old has been very into comics lately so I am very excited to tell him about Free Comic Book Day! Free Comic Book Day is an annual event held on the first Saturday of May, where participating comic book shops around the world give away comic books to customers for free. The event aims to celebrate the art form of comic books, promote literacy and creativity, and attract new readers to the medium. Publishers produce special edition comic books specifically for Free Comic Book Day, featuring a range of titles from popular franchises to independent works. Additionally, many stores organize events such as signings, cosplay contests, and artist appearances to enhance the experience for attendees. Free Comic Book Day provides an opportunity for fans of all ages to discover new stories, explore different genres, and connect with fellow enthusiasts in a vibrant and inclusive community celebration.
