Free Comic Book Day 2016 In Parma
Get ready, true believers - Free Comic Book Day is fast approaching! This year, the event falls on Saturday, May 7, as it celebrates its 15-year anniversary. As usual, it promises to be a fun-filled day for comic book fans of all ages to discover a variety of new comics.
According to the FCBD website, there have been over 6 million free comic books ordered this year, a 7% increase over 2015’s total of 5.6 million comics, and the number of participating stores around the world remains at over 2,300.
There will be up to 50 titles that may be available at each participating location. DC Entertainment, Image Comics, and Marvel Comics will be among the many publishers offering titles that include Archie, Captain America, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Tick, Attack on Titan, Pokémon, and Doctor Who!
Fortunately for Parma area residents, there are three comic book shops participating in the event: B & L Comics, North Coast Nostalgia, and York Comics. Two of these are in close proximity to one another along Ridge Road in Parma's Polish Village. Though lines of colorfully costumed crusaders will likely already be forming as shops are about to open, each shop usually offers a different mix of comics. Consider visiting all three of Parma's incredible comic book shops to find just what you're looking for on Free Comic Book Day! 'Nuff said.
