This year, Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) features a whole new selection of 38 Silver Sponsor comic book titles for the comic book industry's most anticipated annual event taking place Saturday, May 6th, 2017 at participating comic book shops worldwide.
Retailers on the FCBD Selection Committee chose 50 titles overall--12 Gold Sponsor comics and 38 Silver Sponsor comics--to provide fans a wide range of stories from which to choose and discover new genres and publishers. This year's Silver Sponsor comics include Fresh off the Boat, Buffy: The High School Years, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob, Barbie, and more.
"We're thrilled to see the range of titles with this year's Free Comic Book Day," said Free Comic Book Day spokesperson Michael Moccio. "Free Comic Book Day is one of the most celebrated days in the industry. When so many people introduce family and friends to comics and their local comic shop for the first time, it's important the titles reflect that varied interests of people coming to stores. We believe this is going to be one of the best Free Comic Book Days yet
and we're excited for everyone to experience it!"
