Today Is Free Comic Book Day; All Hail The Comics Shop



I hope most of you will join me in visiting a local comic book store today. This is their Free Comic Book Day promotion, and I'd say more than half of the shops do something. In most cases with the stores that do something, that something will involve various "free" comics to which these stores have access. I'd recommend three or four, but really you should pick up whatever you want that your store makes available.

Instead, let me encourage you to also just appreciate your comic book store today, or comic book stores that you visit in the course of the year if you don't have one nearby. The fact that these devoted shopkeepers have outlived a lot of their cousins in related pop-culture endeavors is an amazing thing. The bulk of the great comics I've read in my lifetime passed through one of these stores. I love them all, at least a little bit.
