National Comic Book Day 2012: Is DC or Marvel Better?

To all of those who believe in Harvey Dent and Gotham City, rejoice: National Comic Book Day has arrived.

Sept. 25 is National Comic Book day. This is a day for people of all ages to enjoy, since the first-ever comic book superhero made his first appearance in 1938. While some characters have new looks, and some of their storylines have changed completely, comic enthusiasts can still share their love of their favorite characters, old and new.

This geeky holiday is a great time for comic fans to honor their superhero, heroine or villain’s best stories. Maybe a trip to Stoneham-based bookstore The Book Oasis is in order to find a new read.

National Comic Book day is also a good precursor for the famous New York Comic Con. This year, it will be held during Oct. 11-14 at the Jacob Javits Center, where heroes and villains will walk the streets of Gotham.

From Batman to Archie and the gang, be sure to celebrate everyone’s favorite comic characters.
