“[Free Comic Book Day] creates excitement around our product and what we do,” said co-owner Debbie Smith. “It helps people experience and learn something new. But mostly, it supports your community and it just brings people in and shows us all how much we love each other.”
Held every year on the first Saturday of May since 2002, the goal of the event is to attract new readers to independent comic book stores.
