Free Comic Book Day 2016
It's part of the national Worldwide Free Comic Book Day celebration.
Dan Nash is the store manager at Speeding Bullet Comics. "It's our way of giving back to the community". And there will be rarer publications like The Nightmare Before Christmas. Marvel fans who can't get enough Avengers after last week's theatrical release of "Infinity War" can find a special Avengers title for free too.
Saturday marks global Free Comic Book Day and libraries in both North and South Taranaki are hosting events to observe the day.
Librarians have long known that comic books have the power to entrance every level of reader.

Nash said the event is a way to instill an appreciation for reading in general.
