Free Comic Book Day is scheduled on the first Saturday of May. It has often been tied to the release of a major theatrical film adaptation of a well known superhero property, in order to take advantage of the film’s heavy promotion and related press about the comic book medium.
On Free Comic Book Day, participating comic book store retailers give away specially printed copies of free comic books, and some offer cheaper back issues and other items to anyone who visits their establishments. Retailers do not receive the issues for free; they pay 12-50 cents per copy for the comics they give away during the event.
Participating this year will be artist, creator, publisher, Jason Dube; Jason is the owner of Scattered Comics Studios and is widely known for titles such as his teen sensation “Panda Days”, “Caffiene Poisoned”, and his successful supernatural thriller “Scattered” series.
