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

One Stop comics in Oak Park is one of thousands of comic book shops around the world celebrating the comic book art form on Saturday, May 2nd. On Free Comic Book Day, over two 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,” said Rick Manzella owner of One stop comics.

Now in its twenty fifth year, Free Comic Book Day has proven to be a smashing success, spreading the word that comics are terrific reading. “Even if you have never picked up a comic book, stop into One Stop Comics, with Quantum man creator (Geovannie Cano) signing his comics This may be the best free comic book day ever”

"We at One Stop Comics want to spread the word that comics are alive and well in 2026," Manzella continued. "Comic books and graphic novels are considered hip, hot and smart.” Comic Books have propelled to the front ranks of pop culture, many being adapted into movies. One Stop Comics purchases the comics and gives them away for free and all the comics are all online at onestopcomics.net.

Free Comic Book Day kicks off at 10:00 am and runs until 7:00 pm at One Stop Comics 1 111 South Ridgeland. June 3rd 2026 will be the grand opening of our new location 328 Madison Oak park IL. Call 708.524.2287 for more information.Categories: Book Signings
