The annual event known as Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is held on the first Saturday in May. In order to promote comic books and the comic book business, major comic book publishers get together for this event. More than 2,300 shops around the country give away free comic books to customers each year, and the event has even spread to other countries in Asia, Europe, and Australia.

History of Free Comic Book Day

FCBD was first introduced in 2002 by Joe Fields and Diamond Comic Distributors, a company he owns. Promoting comic books and the comic book business was the plan. With hundreds of comic book shops taking part across the country, the event was a big success.

Since then, the celebration has become more well-known and has extended to other nations, with comic book shops now taking part in Asia, Europe, and Australia. Other renowned comic book publishers, including Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, Boom Studios, and others, are also supporting the event.
