The Comics Marvel Wants You To Hand Out At Halloween Instead Of Candy

The comics that Marvel wants you to hand out at Hallowe'en instead of sweets and candy

I always give away comic books at the door for Hallowe'en, and have been doing so for twenty years. To the extent that children come by for free comics, whose parents did the same when they were kids. And comic book publishers do want to encourage that process. such as Marvel's line-up of titles that you can buy purely to hand out to the kiddiwinks. And this year that includes Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1, Venom: Lethal Protector #1, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1, X-Men '97 #1, Spidey and His Amazing Friends #1

"This October, Marvel Trick-Or-Read, the program that gives comic shops the opportunity to hand out recent hit comics to visitors during the Halloween season, returns for another year! In the same spirit as Free Comic Book Day, Trick-Or-Read is the perfect way to grab new readers, providing exciting entry points into the Marvel Universe and spotlighting the most popular heroes of today. From the start of Godzilla's pop culture-shattering battle with the Marvel Universe to historic issues and Marvel Animation tie-in comics, this year's Trick-Or-Read reprints offer something for everyone, including younger audiences."
