For those of you who are still comic book geeks like me ... tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. Here is a link where you can enter your zip code and locate a participating comic book store near you.

[quote:88b93]1. What is "Free Comic Book Day?"

As the name implies, Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world are giving away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their stores.

2. When is Free Comic Book Day?

Free Comic Book Day will take place on May 6, 2006 .

3. Are they really free?

Yep!

4. Is every comic book store in the world doing this?

If you're asking about convenience stores with a spinner rack of comics in a corner somewhere, the answer is no. This event celebrates the independent comic book specialty stores, thousands of which exist in North America alone. 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, and related products.

While we hope every one of these stores will take part, each store will determine on its own whether or not to participate ......

.... 10. Is this just happening in the U.S.?

Any comic book store in the world can participate in Free Comic Book Day, although there may be some limitations on which titles are available in which countries due to licensing and other considerations.
