Free Comic Book Day is coming up (Saturday, May 4, a mere week-and-a-half away), and really, that’s about my favorite holiday of the year. At plenty of comic shops, you show up, and you get a free comic book… or at some places, a bunch of free comic books. What could be better than that?

For those of you who are solely about things Peanutsy, there is indeed something for you, if something small. One of the books being offered for Free Comic Book Day is Kaboom! Summer Blast, an anthology of stories form the Kaboom! line of kiddie comics. Included in it are pages from Peanuts issue 2, featuring Vicki Scott’s story “How to draw Linus Van Pelt as demonstrated by Charlie Brown”. You can see an excerpt of this excerpting freebie here.

You can look up your local participating shops at the Free Comic Book Day website. Please note that while most shops will have ordered this comic, nobody orders an unlimited quantity, so they may run out before you get there. No promises.
