Free Comic Book Day is May 5

Have you heard of Free Comic Book Day? They are celebrating their 17th anniversary of giving free comic books away. It’s an amazing time to check out some new comics and encourage kids to read. It’s held the first Saturday of May and this Saturday, May 5 from 10am-6pm is the 2018 free comic book day!

My middle son is a huge comic book fan and he looks forward to Comic Book Day every year. A few years ago, we met Mike Worley (a Simpson’s illustrator) and got a free Lisa Simpson sketch with purchase. It was so neat to see him sketch a picture.
