Free Peanuts comic book

Coming up this Saturday is one of the greatest holidays on the calendar – Free Comic Book Day! Just think about those words; is there any one of them not to like?

 

And to make it all the better, this time there’s a free Peanuts comic book to be had! Now, it’s not new material (it reprints material from last year’s Peanuts issue 0) and Peanuts isn’t the full content (it’s a flip book, with the other side offering up Adventure Time comics. But it’s just one of many comics that will be available at most comic shops throughout the English-speaking world.

Some shops will let you have just one free comic, others will lade you down with a number of free titles. In any case – it’s free comics, so how can you go wrong?

Find the address of a participating comic shop near you and check out the full range of special Free Comic Book Day comics available this year (not all titles at all shops) at the Free Comic Book Day website.
