Free Comic Book Day

What is Free Comic Book Day?

Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is the biggest event in the comic book industry—a single day when participating comic book specialty shops around the world give away specially made Free Comic Day Books for free to anyone who comes into their shops! Founded on the belief that for every person out there, there’s a comic book they’ll love, the annual event offers a huge selection of free titles designed to appeal to a broad range of age levels and their tastes.

Free Comic Book Day is the perfect opportunity to introduce family and friends to the coolness of comics. From super-heroes & science fiction to action/adventure & manga, FCBD offers something for everyone! All you have to do is come into your local comic shop – Collector Zone Comics & Collectables at Shop 3/21 Pensacola Terrace Clarkson, & grab 3 free comics from the selection available.
