On Saturday, May 6th it will be Free Comic Book Day event for this year. It’s a day which many comic book stores will be participating in around the country. Customers can stop by their local shops and pick up some of the free books on hand. Selections will include titles that feature the Simpsons, Wonder Woman, Legend of Zelda, kids titles and many more.
For those who might not be able to get a store, there are websites where customers may be able to grab any available free comics. There may be shipping and/or handling charges involved.
As seen above, Things From Another World (TFAW) will be offering customers a special instead of free comics. Not only do they have a wide selection of comics you can order, but if you order $25 or more from them, you’ll receive a $5 gift certificate. Orders of $40 or more will receive a $10 gift certificate. So it pays to pick up some of the comics that aren’t free in order to support comic publishers and sellers. See more details here.
Free Comic Book Day will be going on all day Saturday at many shops. There is a full list of the free comics here.
