This year, you’ll be able to participate in FREE COMIC BOOK DAY with The Comic Bug in not ONE, not TWO, but THREE separate locations! We’ll have FREE COMICS and ACTIVITIES at both our Manhattan Beach and Culver City locations, so make sure you drop in to the shop nearest you and scoop up lots of free goodies, then you’ll want to hurry over to the CULVER CITY TEEN CENTER for The Comic Bug’s (and possibly the WORLD’s) first-ever FREE COMIC-CON DAY! And what a day do we have planned, with participation from over 70 comic book writers and artists, nearly EVERY major publisher and loads of COSPLAYERS, PODCASTS and CONTESTS. Can I get a witness?!
