For 2027, Free Comic Book Day will be May 1st!
Get ready for one of the most popular community events of the year!
Free Comic Book Day is a global celebration where participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE to anyone who walks through their doors.
This is a fantastic freebie for kids and a great way to introduce them to the world of reading and art. Whether you are a die-hard collector or a parent looking for a fun Saturday activity, this is an event you don’t want to miss!
💥 How It Works:
- Find a Shop: Use the official store locator to find a participating shop near you.
- Arrive Early: Most shops have a limited supply of the “special edition” free comics, and the most popular titles go fast!
- Pick Your Favorites: Stores usually have a designated section of free titles. Some shops allow one free book per person, while others might allow a small handful!
