Free Comic Book Day (Malta)

This is not in Gozo, but I thought to let you know the same.

"Join us this year as we will be giving away comics for free to anyone who visits us either at the the Public Library in Floriana from 9am-12pm or at the Bay Street shopping complex from 2pm-5pm. As always, Free Comic Book Day would not be possible without the help of the National Book Council and Wicked Comics, who support this event each year.

Free Comics Book day is the perfect occasion to start reading comics, discover new characters and explore new worlds. With a vast range of comics available for free, comics book enthusiasts and new readers will both have a tough time selecting their favorite issues. From Marvel to Dc comics, including Image, and other independent publishers, each year the bar is raised in terms of story telling and artwork.

The comics available are suitable for all ages so if you have friends of family members that have never read or wish tog et their hands on some comics, Free Comics Book Day is the event to go to."

This event will be held on Saturday 5 th May.
