Free Comic Book Day is an annual event in the comics industry where stores offer free comic books to entice you into shopping with them on a regular basis! The Free Comic Books are specially selected by publishers (Not Every Comic Book Is Free) and then store can decide what to give away. Seeing as this is Little Island’s first year, we definitely wanted to participate and start a tradition, and what better way to kick it off than with two awesome creator signings!

- Free Comic Book Day events will run from Noon to 5pm.
- Everyone who attends is welcome to select up to 4 free comics from our selection!
- Only 25 people will be allowed in the store at a time (we’re just a Little Island after all!) so there might be lining-up-outside involved. Bring an umbrella just in case!
The Creators:
- 12pm-2pm: Meet Fabio Moon! Fabio is the artist of series including Daytripper, BPRD, and Casanova (for grown-ups). This year Fabio Moon is the illustrating the new SERENITY story by Zach Whedon (Joss Whedon’s brother) in the FCBD Star Wars / Serenity Flip Book!
