Free Comic Book Day!!

Free Comic Book Day!!
 

Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 4th—but you can get a jump on it right now and maybe see your comics by Saturday if you are nearby, or at least early next week! Since we aren't a brick and mortar store, we also extend FCBD to as long as our copies hold out, to allow everyone possible to join in and to allow you to place more than one order to get more Freebies.

To qualify, you do need to place an order--of any size--to get your freebies. That's because, unlike a bricks and mortar store, we incur expenses shipping to you: handling, supplies and postage. So we need an order--of any size--with postage added to make this work. Buying any of the priced Vintage Comics below counts as an order; no substitutions will be made if these run out.

This year we have SEVEN new carefully selected (by Bud) comics. We've added our own “warehouse finds.” Some are free, the rest are bargain-priced.

Place ANY size order and choose 3 free items. Order over $50 and choose 6. Limit of one per item with each order so everyone has a chance to get these. While supply lasts, of course. If we run out of anything, we'll try and sub in something else. All the free comics are listed below. Enjoy!

Recently we discovered that for GMAIL customers, our emails are coming through without images. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we are working to remedy this. If you cannot see images please click here to see them on our blog.
