FREE COMIC BOOK DAY AT FLYING COLORS
COMICS MAY 4!
The Final
Free Comic Book Day Event at its Founding Location
Free Comic Book Day Features Comics for Everyone!
Flying Colors Comics & Other Cool Stuff in Concord CA
celebrates the biggest day in the comics, Saturday, May 4 with Free Comic Book Day. Now in its 23rd year, Free Comic Book Day is the World's Largest Comic Book
related event and was founded by Flying Colors Comics & Other Cool Stuff
proprietor Joe Field.
There's extra poignancy to the 2024 FCBD event at Flying Colors as it will be
the last FCBD at the location where the international event was founded.
"It's really going to have all the feels," said Joe Field. "I got the
inspiration for Free Comic Book Day by seeing the line next door at a
Baskin-Robbins Free Scoop Night event. I thought 'What's the only thing cooler
than ice cream? That's the fun found in comics for all readers!"
"We know our time here in Oak Grove is soon drawing to a close. I want to
make sure to get the word out to everyone that if you've ever wanted to be a
part of Free Comic Book Day at the place where it all began, May 4, 2024 is
your final chance to do that."
"In years past, we've had visitors not just from
Contra Costa County, the Bay Area and Northern California, but from different
parts of the world, too, from Europe, Scandinavia, South America, Asia and
Australia. But have no fear -- we'll still have FREE comics for everyone
attending that day!"
"As for Flying Colors' legacy in Oak Grove Plaza, I'm happy to know we've
been a part of the lives of so many people in this neighborhood--- generations of
awesome FlyCo Faithful! We're working to continue the Flying Colors tradition
of Comics & Other Cool Stuff in a new location, so we hope everything lines
up to make that a reality. For now, we ask everyone to stay in touch with
Flying Colors by regularly visiting the shop and via social media to get the
latest info."
Free Comic Book Day at Flying Colors will feature dozens of
new comic books with a wide range of stories and characters for readers of all
ages and interests. These Free Comic Book Day special edition comics are made
just for the event. Anyone who loves to read will love getting free comics on
Saturday May 4.
Founded in 2002 by Flying Colors Comics owner Joe Field, Free Comic Book Day is
a way to introduce new readers to the entertainment and diversity found in
contemporary comics, while also thanking long-time readers and calling back
former comic book fans.
In addition to giving away thousands of free comic books, FCBD at Flying Colors is colorful community event with characters around every corner... it is "May the Fourth Be With You" day, too!
