Every year the comic book industry celebrates Free Comic Book Day on the first Saturday of May. Many stores host parties and signings. It’s a terrific day for stores to do something special with the fans who shop at comic book stores week in and week out, as well as to reach out to new readers who hear about FCBD. This annual event creates a national stage for all of us, (professionals, creators, retailers and fans), to spread our collective enthusiasm for comic books out into the world at large.

As for our Vertigo comic books, they will not utilize the rating system, because they will continue to be labeled as “For Mature Readers”.
