Come celebrate Free Comic Book Day with Comic Envy on Saturday, May 1st! Bring the whole family because we will have free comics for the young and young-at-heart.

Does dad idolize Boba Fett? He can take a picture with him as well as other Star Wars characters! Are you just a little bit curious about Wonder Woman’s feminist fashion sense? Chat with her and other super-heroes while entering to win gift cards and more!

Revelers can also make local cartoonists Evan Dahm, www.rice-boy.com (suggested for ages 10 and up), and Raven Perez, www.ravensdojo.com (suggested for older teens), feel like celebrities by asking for their autographs and sketches. Comic Envy will be donating a portion of Free Comic Book Day proceeds to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
