We are very excited for Free Comic Book Day! My 13 year old is mildly obsessed with comics. He visits Crescent City Comics almost every weekend and will definetley be there on Saturday, May 2 to get a free comic book! With 50 titles available to choose from, I'm sure he can find just the perfect story to enjoy.
Taking place annually on the first Saturday in May, Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book specialty shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops! Locally, we have 6 comic book stores participating in the Greater New Orleans Area. See list below.
One of the goals of Free Comic Book Day is to reach out to those individuals unfamiliar with the comic book specialty market, not to mention a comic book shop. So, every year those behind Free Comic Book Day launch a massive promotional campaign that heralds the event and spreads the good word of comics to potential readers everywhere.

Recently we traveled to New York City and a visit to the famous Midtown Comics in Manhattan was a must see on our itinerary.
