Free Comic Book Day 2021 at CNJComics!

With three weeks out it’s time for some opening details on this years Free Comic Book Day 2021! In case you’re out of the loop, FCBD has been moved nationally to Saturday, August 14th this year! Free Comic Book Day will be from 10am to 7pm on the 14th. We will not have a night event this year to make the new challenges of the day easier for us to handle with a full nights rest.

You know you can ride the motorcycle, you just need to take it easy for awhile until you get your bearings.

We have had this in the works for years and...
