CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA, (WTAJ) — Every year comic book fans rejoice. The first Saturday in May since 2002 has become known as “Free Comic Book Day.”
The event was first introduced to coincide with the release of Sony’s Spider-Man in 2002. The film followed in the footsteps of X-Men and had the world excited.
Comic books were starting to make a come back.
Almost every year since Comic Book Day has centered around a HUGE Marvel movie release, most recently in 2019 with Avengers: Endgame releasing the week before.
