Doors open at: 9 a.m.

Free Comic Book Month
The Date: May 2015
Every Saturday: 11 a.m. (doors open)



Overview
Free Comic Book Day is a fun-filled day with free comic books, food trucks, face painters, an amazing storewide sale, a Supreme Pro Wrestling exhibition, Sac City Rollers' skaters, West Coast Avengers cosplayers, Charity raffles and lots of new friends. Savings Club Members (signed up by 12/31/2014) receive special treatment with a Members Only VIP line and FCBD Title Pre-Selection (watch for the email).

After kicking off the month with FCBD Mini-Con, the comic book freebies continue during Free Comic Book Month each and every Saturday at 11 a.m. To qualify for freebies each Saturday, you'll have to attend the previous Saturday and have your FCBD Month Punch Card punched. That will unlock more freebies the following Saturday. FCBD Month Punch Cards will be available at Empire's Comics Vault on Free Comic Book Day.

There's one exception: Savings Club Members can show up any Saturday, no questions asked. And, as usual, they'll get to stand in the Members Only VIP line.

 Get the most from FCBD Mini-Con 2016 by joining our Savings Club Program by the end of this year, 12/31/15. Learn more in this post or on the Savings Program page.
