Free Comic Book Day this Saturday

superman/batman #1 freeDon’t forget tomorrow, May 6, is the fifth annual Free Comic Book Day, designed to attract new readers to the world of comics. Contrary to popular belief, it ain’t just kid stuff. Over in Europe, there’s no shame among adults reading comics, so let’s shed the stigma and catch up, shall we?

This year’s sponsor titles include Marvel and DC giving away issues of X-MEN / RUNAWAYS, JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED and SUPERMAN / BATMAN respectively.

Other gold sponsor offerings include a STAR WARS/CONAN twofer from Dark Horse, a TRANSFORMERS: BEAST WARS special from IDW and comics featuring G.I. Joe, Donald Duck, Spawn, Savage Dragon, Witchblade, The Simpsons and Archie. Manga purveyor Tokyopop will be offering a sneak-preview sampler. Select stores also will be giving away Wolverine Heroclix and STARGATE action figures.

You can get more information on all the titles – including sample artwork – at the Free Comic Book Day website. No purchase is necessary, people; hence, the word “free.”
