Today FYI: Free Comic Book Day & Comic Odyssey Opening at Fully Booked

MANILA, Philippines - Hunting for some comic relief? Tomorrow, May 19, Fully Booked will be holding its fifth annual Free Comic Book Day.

True to the event’s namesake, Free Comic Book Day entitles each visitor to an actual comic book free of charge. Just visit a branch near you to avail of it.

“Holding Free Comic Book Day is our way of showing appreciation to all the comic book fans and giving them something exciting to look forward to as a way of thanking them for their support,” says Fully Booked managing director Jaime Daez.

Expect a full-on comic celebration as well, with cosplayers of your favorite Marvel and DC characters, plus local artists sketching during the event. Make sure to line up early for free copies of the exclusive Fully Booked cover of DC Comics’ The New 52 Free Comic Book Day printing.

For Fully Booked’s Fort branch, the event will also coincide with the fourth floor opening of a Comic Odyssey branch, a specialty comic book shop that sells comic single issues. For all branches, though, graphic novel and manga purchases will be at 20 percent off, so this really is your chance to grab your prized issue for less.
