This Saturday May 3th, is FREE Comic Book Day! For years now comic book stores around the country offer a FREE comic book the first Saturday in May as a way to spread the word about reading and about comics.
One thing you may not know about me is that I really love comics and graphic novels! I have a fabulous family comic book store near me and I always look forward to FREE comic book day. It’s super to see young people excited about reading.
You’ll want to go HERE to see if any shops in your area are participating. You’ll be able to get at least one comic book totally FREE, no purchase necessary. There are comics that are appropriate for all ages, so really something for everyone. You can preview the books available (not every store will get every book) HERE.
I had the opportunity to do an interview with my local news station recently and I thought you all might enjoy watching it. The interview was about saving money and 5 things you should never pay full price for. I really am passionate about living well on less so it was fun to have a chance to talk about it!
This aired last night on our local NBC affiliate in West Palm Beach, Florida – WPTV. If you can’t see it in your browser, you can also check it out HERE. Enjoy! 🙂
