Free Comic Book Day is an annual giveaway held on the first Saturday of May. Participating comic shops around the world hand out specially printed comics at no charge. The 2027 edition falls on May 1.
The title lineup and participating-store list usually arrive between February and April. In 2026 the day ran under two banners: Free Comic Book Day and Penguin Random House's Comics Giveaway Day. Most shops carried books from both on the same day.
