FCBD 2015: A Comic Celebration To Remember
May 04, 2015
On Saturday, May 2, the 14th annual Free Comic Book Day was celebrated by more than 2,000 specialty stores worldwide, putting approximately 5.6 million comics into the hands of eager fans. An annual holiday for many, FCBD garnered buzz from coast to coast with media coverage in Time, CNET, National Public Radio, and IGN - all providing customers with tips on how to celebrate the special day.
Once comic shops opened their doors, free comics were quickly claimed. Creator signings, character appearances, and other special events made FCBD 2015 a true celebration of the books and culture we all love.
Here are a few photos and stories some comic shops have shared with us from this year's event:
