This is the Late Nite Comics that is helping to fund Free Comic Book Day this year, so help us give you free comics by picking up some 50 cent books and half off back issues!

Can’t make it on Thursday? We’ll also have all in store dollar books for 50 cents each all day Friday and Saturday. We should have some Superman dollar stock out for Superman Day as well!

Then, on Friday the 18th, it’s Superman Day! There are three free comics we’ll have to hand out that day:

Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 3rd, from 10am to 7pm. You’ll be able to pick twelve books from the 45 titles we’ll have, and they will be divided by all ages, teens, and adults on the tables. There’s something for everyone!

There will be local artists and vendors set up in the FCBD room, so after you grab your free comics, hang out and spend some money with them! Support your local artists!

There will be a few different cosplayers around for the event, including The Bee! From 10am to 1pm get your picture with a life size Transformer!
