It’s hard to believe that Free Comic Book Day has been around for 16 years. But this Saturday the 16th annual Free Comic Book Day is happening. Make sure to check out your local comic book shop for a selection of free comics.

You can see the selection of comics that might be offered at your local shop on the Free Comic Book Day website. In addition, checkout the store locator to see which comic book shop near you is participating:Shops that are kid friendly are indicated with a little “kid friendly” icon.

There are 50 comics being featured for the Free Comic Book Day. There are selections from favorite publishers of all types. Manga too!

My students would love to see the free comic of My Hero Academia, as they’re chomping at the bits for each volume recently purchased at my library.

And who doesn’t love a bit of Spongebob?

See the latest going on at Riverdale and get your superhero fix with an Avenger’s comic. There’s a slew of selection. So this Saturday, go down to your closest comic book shop and get some freebies. Maybe do some shopping too.
