Free Comic Book Day

Free Comic Book Day is a wondrous event in which good little boys and girls all over the world get free comics! FREE! It is held on the first Saturday of May every year.

Publishers often give away (sometimes partial) reprints of stories from a few of their current comic lines in a bid to draw money attention to the series they were taken from.
