The First Saturday in May is Free Comic Book Day

The first Saturday in May means the Kentucky Derby and FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

Stores all over the city, and three in Wicker Park-- Brainstorm Comics, Quimby's, and Challengers-- will observe Free Comic Book Day by giving away free comic books from participating publishers.

Per a press release from Chicago Comics, "Those who think comic books are "just for kids" or "old-fashioned" will be pleasantly surprised by the broad range of reading material available at their local comic book store."

Updates, information about comic books, and lists of participating publishers (and their comics) are all online at http://www.FreeComicBookDay.com.
