The 20th anniversary of Free Comic Book Day (FCBD), one of the comic book industry’s most beloved and anticipated celebrations, will once again be a single-day event, scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 14, 2021.
Typically held in May, FCBD is the biggest event in the comic book industry — a single day when participating comic book specialty shops around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops! Founded on the belief that for every person out there, there’s a comic book they’ll love, the annual event offers a huge selection of free titles designed to appeal to a broad range of age levels and their tastes.
The 2021 FCBD will be held on August 14th. Watch the video to find out what FCBD is all about!
Every year, the industry comes together to give away free comics and encourage both curious, first-time comic book readers and seasoned comic book fans to flock to the best place in the comic book community: local comic shops. Each one is unique in its community, with a style and personality all its own, and each one carries a full line of comics, graphic novels, toys and related products. Local comic shops are the hubs of our community, where fans can come together to discover new comics, make lifelong friends, and find a sense of commonality.
Visit one of our local comic shops to pick up your FREE comic book on August 14th! For more locations, visit the FCBD Store Locator.
