This Saturday (May 5) is Free Comic Book Day across North America and the world – a day where participating comic shops give away comic books to anyone coming into their stores.
Archie Comics – a Gold Sponsor of the event – will be offering Riverdale FCBD 2018, representing an issue of the ongoing comic book series featuring stories set in the world of The CW’s hit Riverdale TV show.
In addition to these free comics available at participating comic book stores, Archie Comics fans can meet their favorite comic book creators at in-store signings across the country.
