Free Comic Book Day 2019

Overview

Restock your reading pile without paying a cent — yes, Free Comic Book Day is back for 2019. First started in the US in 2002, the event has grown into an annual international celebration, paying tribute to comics and graphic novels in all of their forms.

Each and every year, Kinokuniya gets in on the action. This year, the CBD store will be giving away more than 13,000 free comics; however that's just the beginning of the shenanigans. Expect an explosion of pop culture in The Galeries, including a cosplay competition, an artist's alley — where some of Sydney's top creators will sketch pieces for fans — and an incredibly timely Star Wars trivia comp. 2019's Free Comic Book Day does fall on Saturday, May 4, after all.

You'll also be able to pick up a free tote showbag (all those comics need to go somewhere) if you register in advance for the early bird queue, take part in a nanoblock building comp, and nab 20 percent off all graphic novels and manga.

The fun starts when the store opens, with Kinokuniya trading from 10am–7pm.
