Saturday the 2nd of May will be the 2015 Free Comic Book Day. Anyone popping into a participating comic book shop. Come April the FCBD store locator will update to show which shops are taking part this time around.

This year, Free Comic Book Day gave away 4.7 million comic books and over 1,000,000 people took part. My favourite story is of three teenage thieves who were caught and forced to work in the store.

In 2015 there will be 50 free comic books thanks to the gold and silver sponsored arranged by Diamond Comics.
