Free Comic Book Day

For comic-book enthusiasts, the first Saturday in May is like Christmas, except Santa doesn’t visit you. Fortunately, on Free Comic Book Day, the equivalents of St. Nick’s workshop are easy to find. Just enter your ZIP code into the store locator at freecomicbookday.com to figure out which local shops to hit up for goodies. In addition to giving away complimentary comic books, stores — including all three B-Bop Comics locations (6320 Northwest Barry Road; 3940 Main; and 5336 West 95th Street, Prairie Village) — are hosting comic creators, who will shake your hand, sign your books and maybe even draw you. Show up early; supplies are limited.
