Okay so we are biased, but we think Free Comic Book Day might just be the best day of the year! For over 20 years the annual celebration of comics and comic book retailers has drawn in new readers and longtime fans alike by giving away publications by the industry’s best retailers. This year will be no exception, because when comic stores across the country open their doors for business on the morning of May 2nd, they’ll be overrun by fans wanting to pick up releases from the following publishers:
Archie Comics are thrilled to be a part of this year’s Free Comic Book Day, with our publication being the WORLD OF ARCHIE one-shot!:
Celebrate Archie Comics’ milestone 85th anniversary with this collection of fun, all-ages stories! You probably already know Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and even that mischief-maker Reggie, as well as everyone’s favorite teen witch, Sabrina, and those musical, mystical Josie and the Pussycats. Still, there’s a whole WORLD of Archie characters to explore. This collection spotlights some of the expanded Archie universe and showcases why Archie and his friends have been the coolest for nearly nine decades!
