Free Comic Book Day – during which businesses nationwide give away free comic books – has typically taken place every first Saturday in May.
On May 6, 2023 , many South Florida comic book stores plan to host special events, including live sketching by comic artists or visits by costumed characters.
“Every year, on the first Saturday in May, the industry comes together to give away free comics and encourage both curious, first-time comic book readers and seasoned comic book fans to flock to the best place in the comic book community: local comic shops,” according to the official event website . “Each one is unique in its community, with a style and personality all its own, and each one carries a full line of comics, graphic novels, toys and related products. Local comic shops are the hubs of our community, where fans can come together to discover new comics, make lifelong friends, and find a sense of commonality.”
Free Comic Book Day features a color-coded logo system to make it easy to identify the age rating of each title on event day. On the front cover of each book, there is a color-coded Free Comic Book Day logo that corresponds to the books age rating. Make sure you take note of the logo on the front to better understand what kind of content to expect in the pages of the comic!
The event is expected to include works from major publishers such as DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, BOOM! Studios, Dynamite Entertainment, and Image Comics, plus independent publishers.
