[bitty246]

I just found out that today is free comic book day at local Comic Shops. My first thought was ..Awesome, my DS (4) will love this! My second thought... must share on the Dis Budget board!!! Our local shop will have free face painting and Jimmy John's sandwiches!!! Hope someone is able to benefit from this tip and have some budget friendly fun with your families!

You must live very close to me, bc that sounds like our local shop in Lewisville, TX! My DH is such a comic nerd that we're actually going to 2-4 shops in the area to get all the freebies he can get! Ah, well, he puts up with my Disney addiction, I can put up with his DC addiction.

Yup, I almost forgot it was FCBD today. DGF and I just went to our local comic shop and got some free comics. There is a free Toy Story comic and lots of others for kids.

I would check to see which comic shops are participating because not all of them do.

Yes, We're in The Colony.. right down 121 from Lewisville! My son was nervous to meet THE Batman! So funny. The man who owns the store is so nice. My son decided he wanted a Green Lantern ring and the guy just said he could have it for free. My hubby spends a lot of money in there too, or I would have insisted he take the $1.07

ETA: We got the Toy Story comic, Shrek, DC Super Friends, Sonic the Hedgehog and Iron Man. I only expected to get one free! Nice surprise!

We went to 2 comic shops today. the first one, had The Dominator and Stormtrooper to get pics with, the boys also got the Toy Story Comic and several others(there was alot to choose from). The 2nd shop we went to didnt have the same comics, but let the boys pick out whichever comic they wanted from all of their comics.

As far as I know nearly every comic store in the country participates in Free Comic Book Day. It's an annual event. The publishers put out the comics for free to attract people.

My local store has costumed characters and everything. DD got her pic with Darth Vader.
