Free Comic Book Day is coming!

  Free Comic Book Day is coming soon!

Here's the official low-down on the day directly from the Free Comic Book Day website:

Free Comic Book Day is a single day - the first Saturday in May each year - when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who comes into their stores. *Check with your local comic book shop for their participation and rules.  

Libraries get in on the action, too!  For the past six years, the Hauppauge Public Library has partnered with Fourth World Comics to bring the celebration to our patrons.  Each year, Fourth World Comics generously donates free comics for us to give out to our patrons, so stop by the library and enjoy the world of comics!  And make sure to stop by Fourth World Comics to say thanks and check out their celebration, too!
