To celebrate Free Comic Book Day, all the retailers in the Boston area are holding events. You can go to them all, but I have to choose just one. New England Comics asked members of the Boston Comics Roundtable to participate, so I rounded up as many as I could. I’ll be at the Harvard Square location (map) from 12 – 3 pm, along with some friends. We’ll be doing sketches, selling books, and generally being the best comics ambassadors we can be.

In case you’ve never heard of it, Free Comic Book Day is an industry-sponsored event to promote comics reading. All the big publishers print free editions of comics and distribute them across the country to retailers. The idea, I suppose, is to try and get new readers in the door with the enticement of free stuff. You can read more about it at the official website. It’s always a lot of fun because the stores are busy and full of little events and signings.
