 Free Comic Book Day HistoryFree Comic Book Day is an event organized by the North American comic book industry. It celebrates the day by giving out free comic books as a way to invite new readers into the field. The event originated in 2001, when Joe Field noticed a big potential in comic book stories on the film industry. Field’s vision was precise, as of 2019, movies based on comic book stories dominate the list of top grossing movies of all time. Free Comic Book Day happens annually on the first Saturday in May. | ||
