Free Comic Book Day 2023: These Camden County Stores Will Celebrate

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — Free Comic Book Day will return Saturday to shops across the nation, including several in Camden County.

Each year on the first Saturday in May, the industry assembles to give away free comics. The special day is designed to "encourage both curious, first-time comic book readers and seasoned comic book fans to flock to the best place in the comic book community: local comic shops," according to the unofficial holiday's website.

The following Camden County stores will participate:

• Secret Origins Comics & More (888 Haddon Ave., Collingswood)
• Fat Jack's Comicrypt (521 White Horse Pike, Oaklyn)

Secret Origins will celebrate from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with giveaways, a meet-and-greet with local creators and artists, and the chance to see live sketches. The shop also promises door prizes throughout the day, including rare comics and collectibles.
