Mark your calendars now, take a vacation day if you need to, Saturday May 2 at Packrat Comics will be the sweetest day of the year!
Free Comic Book Day is already the sweetest day of the year at Packrat Comics… but this year they decided to turn the sweetness up to Wonka levels. Imagine a day filled with free comics, costumes, creators, trivia, food, and surprises around every corner. Now imagine having the chance to win free comics for an entire year***. This year ten lucky comic fans will have the chance to win a free comic every week for a year. With every purchase you make on Free Comic Book Day, you’ll receive an opportunity to win sweet prizes, collectible pins, trinkets, gift cards, coupons… and for a few very lucky fans, the Golden Ticket prize — free comics for a year.
There's a costume contest. Not only can you enter to win their annual costume contest for gift cards to Packrat, now you can enter your pet in their cutest pet contest! Dress that dog up as the Hulk, your kitty as Batman, your squirrel as Captain America, or bring your gerbil without a costume!
Each person may select up to 3 free comics from the selection of FCBD comics we purchased from the publishers. You will then be able to 'purchase' additional comics by donating non-perishable food items to our food drive. Thank you as always for your continued generosity!
This Free Comic Book Day we’re thrilled to welcome a powerhouse lineup of creators from Source Point Press. If you love independent comics, horror, fantasy, and incredible creator-owned storytelling, you’re going to want to meet this crew.
Joining them is Dirk Manning, Corinne Roberts, John Marroguin, and Tony Miello, each bringing their own unique style and stories to the Packrat Comics creator alley.
