Free Comic Book Day Pushed Back to August Here’s the Evansville Area Stores Participating

Free Comic Book Day has been around since 2002, and is a big day for independent comic book specialty shops.  Only independent shops can be a part of Free Comic Book Day which is pretty cool.  Traditionally Free Comic Book Day happens on the first Saturday of May, but thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic it was decided to push the special day back to Saturday August 14, 2021.  Hopefully next year everything will be back to normal.
