“It was a big weekend for the Marvel Universe…Marvel used FCBD to set the stage for several key storylines.” - IGN
Free Comic Book Day is the perfect way to dive headlong into the Marvel Universe – and this year was no exception! Spreading the wonder and excitement of comics yet again, Marvel would like to thank comic retailers everywhere for their hard work and dedication, making the 15th anniversary of Free Comic Book Day a smashing success!
“Marvel seems to always be on top, every year for FCBD, not just because they have the huge summer blockbuster movie, but because the majority of attendees are excited for their offerings. I think publishers leading off their big summer events with original FCBD content lead the pack as far as my ordering goes and how I see greater sales for these events in my store.”
– Dennis Barger, Owner Wonderworld Comics
“2016 brought the most exciting FCBD to date, as Marvel’s Civil War II and Captain America helped to drive in customers, old and new! FCBD was not just about free comics—the event inspired customers to browse, discover, and buy like crazy!”
– Gerry Gladston, CMO/CLO Midtown Comics, Inc.
