Perhaps the best of the fake holidays, Free Comic Book Day speaks to the geek in all of us. You’ve spent enough money at the comic book stores over the years, it’s about time you got a little love back. Celebrated annually on the first Saturday in May, special versions of an assortment of comics will be up for grabs at the area comic shops. Batman and The Flash, Plastic, The Shaolin Cowboy and Mighty Morphin Power Ranger serials will all be up for grabs along with many others. Certain area comic stores will also be doing additional celebrating.
