One of the best days of the year is less than 24 hours away. I'm talking about Free Comic Book Day 2015. Comic book stores across the nation will be having bid sales, costume contests, free food, live music, and especially free comics.
If you live in the North Carolina Triangle, I recommend the following stores:
Capitol Comics in Raleigh
Fight or Flight Comics in Raleigh
Atomic Empire in Durham
Chapel Hill Comics in Chapel Hill
If you live in the Triad, I advise you to participate at:
Parts Unknown, Greensboro, NC
Ssalefish Comics in Winston-Salem
If you are in the Asheville area, check out:
Comic Envy
Live in St. Charles/ St. Louis, visit:
Comic 'Book' Relief
In the Big Apple, you must take a trip to:
Midtown Comics
Lastly, if you're a resident of Denver, please visit my friends at
Mile High Comics

Before you go, check out the list of free comics being offered for 2015. Some stores will allow you to pick up one book of each title, some will limit you to just a few. If you are unsure of which comics are right for you or your child, I made a list (posted at the end of this article) of the comics offered for each rating.
There are normally 3 categories: all-ages, Teen/ Teen+ (12 and up), and mature (18+). I included a fourth category- all ages but with discretion. See, books like Bob's Burgers and the Simpsons are rated all-ages friendly books but the shows on which they are based may not be suitable for all age groups, so, I grouped those books and a few others in a category in which they say they are appropriate for everybody but might feature material that is out of your aspiring comic collector's age range for now. Also, there are two books in which I was unable to find a rating for so I put them in an 'unrated' category though it's not officially unrated by their publishers.
Some of the opening pages of these books can be downloaded here at the official Free Comic Book Day website. So be sure to check 'em out before you go as well.
Enjoy and have a Happy Free Comic Book Day 2015!
