Diamond Discounts Free Comic Book Day 2020 Comics To Retailers
Free Comic Book Day was a bit of a damp squib in 2020. When FCBD was cancelled, the books had already been printed, and when it was rearranged for a month-long promotion, it didn't have the impact the original would have done, with many stores operating social distancing or being closed entirely. As a result, many people didn't get the free comics they wanted and some have sold for a pretty price on eBay as well, considering they were meant to be free and cost very little for stores to order.
Which is why right now X-Men FCBD 2020 sells for $7, Lady Mechanika 2020 sells for almost $4, Overstreet Guide FCBD 2020 with Usagi Yojimbo has just sold for almost $5, Power Rangers: Ranger Slayer for $4, Brandon Sanderson's Dark One for $5, Disney Masters: Donald Duck for almost $6, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic for over $7 and the Spider-Man/Venom for $8.
But Diamond Comic Distributors is making all these FCBD titles and more – two-thirds of the titles originally offered – at an even more reduced price. And unlike the original Free Comic Book Day, no obligation to give them away for free either… Retailers have four more days to take advantage of the following;
