Free Comic Book Day

All Star Comics Melbourne's Free Comic Book Day is the biggest day of the year for the comic reading community! It brings comics and comic book stores into the forefront of the public eye in the best way possible, by giving away free comics and encouraging newcomers to try something new. Free Comic Book Day is an event for anyone and everyone.

Bring the family along to the family-only first hour, so children under 12 can enjoy a more relaxed experience. There'll be kids-only free comic showbags with a great selection of free kid-friendly books.

Dress up for the All Star costume contest, with prizes for best dressed on the day.
