Free Comic Book Day is back — first Saturday in May! Special free titles available while supplies last, plus enjoy a special one-day-only sale of 20% off comics, graphic novels, and trade paperbacks! In-store event only; sale does not stack with existing discounts or offers.
The friendlier, more conversational version:
OK! Basics for new attendants. A bunch of special comics are published for this event only (the whole store is not free, hurr durr), and we make a big display of them on the back wall (normally the new release shelves). There are lots of little signs that say "FREE" to indicate exactly which titles are free — plus the actual books will have a Free Comic Book Day header on the cover to sort of scream it. We allow you to take up to one of each title, but please don't abuse that privilege; many of the titles are aimed at kids, and we want to get new readers INTO comics! Only take titles that you're genuinely interested in — no backpacks full of stuff that you plan to resell. We're also running a special sale of 20% off all things that are basically books. Back issues, new issues, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, manga — all on sale! The only things that aren't are titles already discounted, like the half-off bin, because 1) stacking two discounts doesn't program well in our point-of-sale system, and 2) COME ON. That's about it! Please be patient as we handle any rushes or lines; the whole staff will be present, so we should be able to get you squared away pretty easily!
