Free Comic Book Day Offers Kid-Friendly Favorites at Local Retailers

altFree Comic Book Day (FCBD) is an annual event founded on the belief that for every person out there, there's a comic book that they'll love. Every first Saturday in May, the industry comes together to give away free comics and encourage fans, both old and new, to flock to the best place in the comic book community: local comic shops. These are the hubs of the comic community, where fans can come together and discover new comics, make lifelong friends, and find a sense of commonality. Free Comic Book Day 2019 features an amazing selection of comic book titles for the industry's most anticipated annual event which happens Saturday, May 4th, at participating comic book shops worldwide.
 
Major publishers such as DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, BOOM! Studios, Dynamite Entertainment, and Image Comics put out free comics for fans to enjoy at the more than 2,300 local comic shops that participate in Free Comic Book Day. The diverse range of titles available each year proves that theres truly a book for everyone: from superheroes, to popular film and television shows, to beloved video games, and all-ages tales. Popular series available in the past include Pokemon, Doctor Who, SpongeBob, Riverdale, Overwatch and Star Wars  
 
Cosplay is also a central part of Free Comic Book Day, as fans love dressing up in costume to show off their favorite character or series. Many stores even throw their own events, bringing in cosplayers and local comic book creators, and partnering with local businesses to make Free Comic Book Day one of the best family events of the year.
