Six Baltimore Area Stores Participating In Free Comic Book Day
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Free Comic Book Day, a day where comic book shops around the world give away free books to those who visit, is Saturday. There are six locations in and around Baltimore contributing to the event for a broad range of ages and tastes.
The annual event celebrating the wide world of comic books is usually on the first Saturday of May, but this year it's August 14. Organizers said the event is "founded on the belief that for every person out there, there's a comic book they'll love."
Major publishers like DC Comic, Marvel Comics and IDW Publishing send free comics to the 2,300 shops that participate in the event.
Here are the Baltimore-area shops participating, according to the Comic Book Day Store Locator.
