Free Comic Book Day Returns To Wayne Store This Saturday

WAYNE, NJ — Free Comic Book Day is almost here, and one Wayne shop will get in on the celebration. Zapp Comics will be among the industry's stores throughout the world providing freebies and deals on Saturday.

Zapp will run sales from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at both its Wayne and Manalapan locations. Besides the free comics, the store will offer the following:

• $20 mystery bags with 10 comics and one autograph per bag
• 50 percent off yellow tagged wall books, all bin back issues, all comic book sets, all manga and all trade paperbacks and hardcovers
• 25 percent off all toys, statues, action figures and Funko Pop Vinyl's

The Wayne store is located at 574 Valley Rd., inside the Valley Ridge Shopping Center.

Free Comic Book Day falls on the first Saturday in May each year. Shops have different policies on how many free comics each customer can receive, but patrons will get at least one free comic from each participating location. Libraries can also sign up to partner with the program.

The event, which began in 2002, celebrates independent comic book shops. Free Comic Book Day has become popular at shops in the United States and Canada but can also be found at shops throughout the world.
