Free Comic Book Day 2026 at CNJComics

Hey True Believer, it’s that time of year again! Welcome to the opening salvo of information for our 25th annual Free Comic Book Day! (It’s also called Comics Giveaway Day now if you’re standing on your head, but we’re too invested in the brand to call it anything but FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!) We’ve been told we have one of the most comprehensive events in the country, and we’re out to make sure that statement sticks around after this year’s event. Free Comic Book is celebrated by over 2,000 independently owned comic book shops in America and abroad. It’s always observed on the first Saturday in May, this year on May 2nd, from 10 am to 6 pm. The reason for the season is the free comics, and there are over 45 different titles to choose from. These aren’t just junk books that we’ve got lying around, either; each book was created just for the day! In our shop, you’re allowed to pick twelve books per person! You can go to www.freecomicbookday.com to check out half of the books, and...

Andrea’s Winston World of Picks for 03.25.2026

Hello hello Comic Shop Friends! What a week we have for you! This Saturday and Sunday, we’re running a Winston World Sale! Somehow, we forgot about Winston World, which we usually run during FanExpo Cleveland, oops. Winter is over, we’re doing some spring cleaning, and you’re getting all the deals!  Stop in the shop on Saturday the 28th and Sunday the 29th for our yearly March sale before the month ends! You’ll be able to get 50% off all back issues, including the wall. You’ll also be able to buy in-shop dollar stock for only 50 cents each with no qualifier. We won’t be bringing extra stock in, so it’s limited to what’s already in the store, but you never know what you’ll find in there! We’ll also give 50% off our already discounted graphic novel bins. To be clear, only the sale graphic novels, as we need to clear out a little space in there. We also need to clear out our storage locker a bit, so for the first time we’ll be offering $75 “blind bag” long boxes....

Hello there Comic Shop Friends! I hope you’re all out enjoying this wonderful warm weather while we have it! It’s perfect for reading comics on the porch! But first some news!

We’re still taking cash donations in the shop through Saturday the 14th if you’d still like to donate! You can also donate online through the 14th here!
