FREE COMIC BOOK DAY @ THE GOLDEN AGE 1942 WITH TRISTAN CRISP AND TIM MOEN !!

It’s that time of year again! Free Comic Book Day returns to Maryville on Saturday, May 3rd, from 9 am to 7 pm! This is our 9th birthday and Free Comic Book Day event!
Everyone attending this year will be able to pick 1 of each book from the many titles that are being offered.
As in years past, all books have three age ratings identified by color: Green for all ages, Blue for teens (meaning 13+, but we find these comics to not have anything too objectionable in them.) and Red for Mature (meaning 18+).
All are encouraged to wear their full comic book regalia, costumes included. We will have a costume contest for the adults and the kids to add to the fun.
After getting your free comics, be sure to check out our local artists, we’ve got a couple of fantastic guests this year!!
