Free Comic Book Day Is Back At The Library

  • Thursday, April 26, 2012

Free Comic Book Day is back at the Downtown Library auditorium on Saturday, May 5, from 2:30-5 p.m. Free comics will be given away while supplies last. 

Participants may bring comics to trade at the “Super Swap” station.

There will be a recent super hero movie shown featuring a green lantern. Local artists will be on-hand to demonstrate drawing techniques.  Other activities include a back-to-back drawing board face-off and crafts - make a comic book wallet, comic book refrigerator magnets, pendants and a mask (hero or villain.)  Prizes include: an iron-on T-shirt, a complete set of the comic books on display, and popular cartoon books.

For younger comic fans, the Children’s Department will have an art-themed story time from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Children under 12 will hear stories about drawing, can create their own cartoons, and take home a free comic. They may come dressed in their favorite hero or villain costume. 

Free Comic Book Day is a global event held annually on the first Saturday in May. Learn more at www.freecomicbookday.com.
