As the headline says, Free Comic Book Day is Saturday! As always, click to find events in your area.
In past years, I’ve reposted the origin story of the biggest multi-store event in comics here on the blog, but there’s interest year-round, so we now have a dedicated FAQ page on the origins of Free Comic Book Day.
In addition, if you haven’t seen it before, event founder Joe Field has an excellent video on the subject that’s worth checking out:
In my comics-creator-and-novelist identity, I’ll be making two stops this Free Comic Book Day, signing from 9-11 at Powers Comics in Green Bay, Wis., and then from 12-2 at House of Heroes in Oshkosh. I’ve done many FCBD signings, but never two in one day. See you there!
Comichron founder John Jackson Miller has tracked the comics industry for more than 25 years, including a decade editing the industry’s retail trade magazine; he is the author of several guides to comics, as well as more than a hundred comic books for various franchises.
