Free. Comic. Book. Day.

Four of the sweetest words in the English language when combined together.  But what is it?  Could it really be that simple?  

It is!

Free Comic Book Day is a day for you to swing by your local comic book shop, including any of our three Collectors Corner Store locations, and grab some awesome FreeComics from publishers like Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Archie, and more!  It's a day for us to celebrate our love for comics and get some great books into the hands of readers young and old.  Collectors Corner is your go-to spot for the biggest and most exciting Free Comic Book Day Events in Maryland!  Join us as we celebrate FCBD 2017 in style with local creators, costumed superheroes, and more family friendly fun than you shake a Groot at.
