The best day in comics is back! Free Comic Book Day is here again and we're so excited to share our favorite day with you. Wondering what Free Comic Book Day is? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like.
This year we have over 50 different comics to choose from for absolutely, no doubt, 100% free! How does it work? That's simple. Just come on down to Memory Lane Comics on Saturday, May 2nd and you'll get 5 free comics just for being there. That's all it takes to walk away with plenty to read and enjoy.
More free comics will also be available for anyone that chooses to visit both Memory Lane locations that day as well! If you've been to MLC for any Free Comic Book Day before, then you know we like to do things big and this year is no different.
Once again, we'll be taking over a whole bunch of Princess St. to give you the best Free Comic Book Day experience anywhere. We'll be renting out a local venue and Princess St. neighbor, Bourgie Nights, to give us space to give out freebies. In addition we'll be hosting a local creator alley so you can meet some of the best and brightest local artists and writers!
Even better - Memory Lane and Memory Lane Part II will be having all-day sales that you won't want to miss. Not enough? How about the best raffle of any Free Comic Book Day you'll find? We'll have several high-end items up for raffle for you to peruse and hopefully win. Good luck in the raffle!
