Family, Fun, and Comics: Free Comic Book Day 2014

For The Fan Presents:

Free Comic Book Day

Free Comic Book Day, takes place on the first Saturday of May. It is an annual promotional effort by the North American comic book industry to help bring new readers into independent comic book stores. Retailer Joe Field of Flying Colors Comics in Concord, California brainstormed the event in his "Big Picture" column in the August 2001 issue of Comics & Games Retailer magazine. Free Comic Book Day started in 2002 and is coordinated by the industry's single large distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors.

It is safe to say that this year was a successful one! People of all walks of life went down to their local comic store and immersed themselves into the geek community. Young or old, Free Comic Book Day had something for everyone. All stores were friendly and completely in the spirit of this grand holiday.

The best part of this event has to be seeing kids at very young age being introduced to a brand new world. A world of all things superhero and comics. (Personally, I'd rather see a kid with a comic than a cell phone.)

At any rate, Free Comic Book Day 2014 was a blast. It was fun meeting and talking with everyone. We can't wait for next year!
