Try It. The first Saturday in May is
Free Comic Book Day, in which
stores give away comics and other goodies to entice would-be customers.
"Rockin' Rooster has a ton of graphic novels and a variety of new
titles," Suess says. "Up Up & Away has great back issues. Queen City
and Mavericks run the gamut in titles. Arcadian has a nice selection of
independent titles. And Comic Book World in Florence has been around a
long time and has a big selection. And the people who work at all these
shops really know their comics." Go

out which local shops participate.
