A FREE DAY OF FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY 
Worldwide Free Comic Book Day Comes to Chicago with Comics for All Ages!
The Comic Vault in Chicago is one of thousands of comic book shops around the world celebrating the comic book art form on Saturday, May 3rd. On Free Comic Book Day, over two million comic books will be given away by participating stores, introducing as many people as possible to the wonders of comic books!
“The Comic Vault is more than a store, it is a community. Free Comic Book day is one way to give back and involve the community,” said Matthew Sardo, owner of the Comic Vault.
Now in its seventh year, Free Comic Book Day has proven to be a smashing success, spreading the word that comics are terrific reading. “Even if you have never picked up a comic book, stop into the Comic Vault, because you never know what you will end up finding.”
“We at the Comic Vault want to spread the word that comics are alive and well in 2008,” Sardo continued. “Comic books and graphic novels are more main stream now then ever before.” Comic Books have propelled to the front ranks of pop culture, many being adapted into movies. Ironman hits the big screen on May 2nd, the day before Free Comic Book Day. “The first weekend of May is going to be a big day in the comic book world.”
What will the Comic Vault be doing in addition to giving away comics:
Jim Terry creator and artist of Lie Down Low will be at the store from 1pm to 4pm.
All Back-Issues are $1
All statues, t-shirts and Variant covers are 50% off
