With The Avengers rolling into movie theaters, fans of the action heroes can get a free copy of another adventure of the team at local comic shops.
Iron Man, Thor and Captain America will re-assemble in a free Avengers comic book available May 5 at comic book stores around the world including Nanaimo at Curious Comics in Country Club Centre.
Part of the 11th annual Free Comic Book Day, free comics, featuring characters ranging from Superman to Charlie Brown, will also be available.
Comic books are an original art form, created in the early days of the 20th century.
They are fun to read, featuring a wide range of diverse storylines that capture the imagination of the readers.
Millions of free comic books are expected to be given away at more than 2,000 locations.
“This is the perfect opportunity to experience all the great stuff going on in comics at your locally-owned independent comic book specialty store,” said Joe Field, president of ComicsPRO, and creator of Free Comic Book Day.
