Free Comic Book Day Will Return To Milltown Store On Saturday

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — One of the most anticipated annual events in the comic book industry is returning this Saturday at participating stores across the nation, including a store in Milltown.

Main Street Comics and Toys will be participating in Comic Book Day. They are located right off Rt. 1, close to East Brunswick.

Free Comic Book Day falls on the first Saturday in May each year. "Every year, on the first Saturday in May, the industry comes together to give away free comics and encourage both curious, first-time comic book readers and seasoned comic book fans to flock to the best place in the comic book community: local comic shops," according to their website.

"Each one is unique in its community, with a style and personality all its own, and each one carries a full line of comics, graphic novels, toys and related products. Local comic shops are the hubs of our community, where fans can come together to discover new comics, make lifelong friends, and find a sense of commonality."

This year, a committee of comic shop retailers chose 46 titles to be available on Free Comic Book Day, although selection and availability may be limited depending on location. See participating comic store locations here.
