As the name indicates, it is the day when retailers across the globe will give out free comic books to anyone that walks into the store.Celebrated on the first Saturday of May, the annual event, which began in 2002, is the brainchild of retailer Joe Field. The owner of Flying Colours Comics & Other Cool Stuff was inspired by the success of similar events like Free Cone Day and suggested the idea to retailers, publishers, and distributors.He believed it would make people, both young and old visit their neighborhood store and revive interest in comic books.
