Free Comic Book Day is the first Saturday of each year. This year, landing on Saturday, May 4th- An epic day to celebrate the force and all the ways children can benefit from reading comics. If you have a child who is reluctant to read or gets overwhelmed when faced with a full page of text, a good comic may be the answer to help them fall in love with reading.
The Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) Retailer Selection Committee has selected forty-eight comic book titles for the industry's most anticipated annual event to take place on Saturday, May 4, at participating comic shops worldwide.
A committee of comic shop retailers chose forty-eight titles to be available on Free Comic Book Day: twelve Gold Sponsor comics and thirty-six Silver Sponsor comics that give fans an opportunity to discover new titles and genres. This year’s selection of Silver Sponsor comics includes beloved franchises such as Star Wars, Monster High, Maleificent, Doctor Who, Street Fighter, and One Piece. Other notable Silver Sponsor titles are available from ABLAZE, Archie Comics, First Second Books, Massive Publishing and more.
“Every year, we strive to bring fans a memorable Free Comic Book Day experience! We know comic book retailers are looking forward to treating their communities to a day of fun and discovery, and we think this year’s comic book selection really reflects that!” said Ashton Greenwood, Free Comic Book Day spokesperson. “The variety of this year’s comic book selection is really exciting! There’s something for every kind of fan, from long-time readers to the comic book curious.”
