Ah, Free Comic Book Day. A day of free comics and special sales at numerous comic book stores that falls on the first Saturday in May of each year. 2010 marks the 9th annual celebration of the event since its creation in 2002.
Although past installments have carried horror-related titles and there are plenty of tie-ins between comic books and horror, but comic stores deserve our support for also carrying horror magazines, trading cards, models, DVDs, etc.
For more information, please visit the official website and its Wikipedia entry. That’s where we learned something that should be of interest to our German readers: they’re getting their own version of the holiday on May 8th!
