MAY 3rd 2014 IS FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

A FREE DAY OF FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Worldwide Free Comic Book Day Comes to Bethel with Comics for All Ages!

Comic Underground in Bethel, Connecticut, is one of thousands of comic book shops around the world celebrating the biggest day in the comic book industry and comic art form, Saturday, May 3rd. On Free Comic Book Day, over 4.6 million comic books will be given away by participating stores, introducing as many people as possible to the wonders of comic books!

 “The wide array of comic books being published today ensures that readers of all ages — children, teens, and adults – can find something appropriate that will stir their imaginations. It’s an art form, both written and visual that has set standards above all other forms of entertainment. On top of that, it’s educational and just plain cool,” said George Milligan, Leader of Comic Underground.  

Celebrating its thirteenth year, Free Comic Book Day has proven to be a smashing success, spreading the word that comics are a terrific read. “Even if you have never picked up a comic book, stop into Comic Underground, because you never know what you will end up finding.”

"We at Comic Underground want to spread the word that comics are perfect for today’s times," Milligan continued. "Comic books and graphic novels are considered a hot form of entertainment, that are fun and a smart pick for readers to dive into as imagination comes to life with the turn of every page.” Comic Books have propelled to the front ranks of pop culture, many being adapted into movies. The first Saturday of May has been and will continue being a big day in the comic book world.”
