We Forgot Free Comic Book Day – Wednesday, May 5th, 2021

Wiping the egg off our faces, we have to offer an apology. We completely forgot what our bags say: First Saturday in May. Maybe next year. We understand the pandemic and its restrictions make it obviously impossible, but it’s our job to anticipate what fans and customers might ask, and Bob had several new faces who had a few of our bags stuffed away in a drawer over the last year who showed up expecting a free comic. Bob should have looked at the calendar and expected that. I should have been talking about it here and on Facebook for the last two weeks, because it didn’t happen this year, just like it didn’t happen last year, until July. I have a whole page on it, on this website.  Well, instead of Free Comic Book Month-and-a-half, in 2021,  it’s one day in August, Saturday the 14th, assuming conditions in the area continue to improve, and we aren’t closed by fire and smoke. We are cautiously optimistic that 90 days from now, we’ll all be vaccinated and feel like shopping and getting free stuff. 

Oh, Batman Fortnite #2 is here, and same rules as last time. Just ask the man behind the counter.

That’s enough “news”. See the list of comics and other stuff below.

Wednesday is STILL New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets. We can’t clear the new rack to just have 10 DC’s  surrounded by empty space.  We do it once, Wednesday morning. We encourage everyone to be careful, make your trip to our store quick and efficient, and try to come in to shop in smaller groups, and reduce your own exposure to ALL public places indoors, including ours. Bob is open, bring your mask, keep your distance, and help keep Bob healthy. If you like, you can browse the list and make an order to [email protected] for a quicker pick up. It might also help to put in a time window when you would be in the neighborhood, to give Bob a chance to get them together, and include a phone number for good measure.

Please wear a mask!

Watch this space and our Facebook page for latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millenium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below.

Thanks to Comics on the Green for this week’s images, which include many of the comics and a few of the books and other items we received today, and may have pics of things we didn’t and/or won’t get. Use the list, and maybe the pictures.
