What is Free Comic Book Day
As the name implies, Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book specialty shops across North America (like The Comic Store in Lancaster) and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops.
Free Comic Book Day 2016 marks our 15 year anniversary and we can't wait to celebrate!

Only at The Comic Store - Lancaster
As always, each customer receives one free comic book and for each additional copy, (there are probably way over 50 different ones to select from) we request that a donation of 50 cents be collected at the registers. All of the donated money will be used to buy graphic novels and books for the Lancaster County libraries
