Free Comic Book Day
Every year around the summer months, popular culture amps up in the Morgantown area. The annually held WV Pop Culture Con is coming in to Morgantown in late august, but in a couple weeks, local comic book shops will be participating in the internationally celebrated Free Comic Book Day.
Free Comic Book Day, or FCBD, will be on Saturday, May 5th. The event will take place all day as well, so it is impossible to miss it unless you just don’t go.
During this day, comic book stores across the world open their doors and give free books in hopes to attract the reader that wouldn’t normally come otherwise. There is normally free food, free toys, and comic book authors/publishers that avid readers can actually talk to and meet.
The entire shindig is more than just giving away a few books for free, it’s bringing together a community of people that love the same thing and celebrating the art.
Two stores so far, Comic Paradise Plus in Fairmont and Comic Paradise Plus 2 in Westover will be participating in the event.
FCBD takes place the first Saturday of every year.
