52 Comic Stores' Plans For Free Comic Book Day, Tomorrow
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day, the first Saturday in May, and the first proper Free Comic Book Day since 2019. So lots of comic book stores will want to come back with a bang. Here are just a few dozen stores who have additional sales, signings and events in store…
United Kingdom:
England:
Gosh Comics, Berwick Street, London.
Our kids drawing table returns this Free Comic Book Day, giving budding young artists aged 6 – 12 the chance to draw alongside comic book professionals! Drawing commences at 10am until 12pm, with artists from Bog Eyed Books and 2000AD Regened represented at the table!
At 10am – 11am, representing upstart kids GN publisher Bog Eyed Books will be TOR FREEMAN (Welcome to Oddleigh), GARY NORTHFIELD (Derek the Sheep), WOODROW PHOENIX (Donny Digits) and DAVID ZIGGY-GREENE (Walkies)! Bog Eyed is the creation of Gary Northfield and Nicky Evans, intended to bring some overlooked gems of British kids comics to light (and a regular publisher in our kids best of the year lists).
Then weighing in at 11am-12pm we'll have RAMZEE and KORINNA VEROPOULOU here representing 2000AD Regened, Rebellion's younger reader re-imagining of the classic British sci-fi anthology! Ramzee and Korinna have both come up through the rough'n'tumble world of small press, self-publishing so successfully that they couldn't help but gain the attention of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. They represent part of Rebellion's drive to give space to new, diverse voices, to the benefit of us all!
