Every Free Comic Book Day 2024 title: Ultimate Spider-Man, X-Men, Star Wars & More

Free Comic Book Day 2024 is coming in May, and the selection of comics features an eclectic mix, ranging from Spider-Man to Star Wars to Conan the Barbarian. 

Free Comic Book Day is rapidly approaching, marking a time of year when comic book fans come out in droves to support their local shops. 

For publishers, though, Free Comic Book Day isn’t just a celebration; it’s a starting point. Both Marvel and DC use the day to tease out their biggest upcoming stories. 2024 is no exception, with Marvel kicking off Blood Hunt and teasing X-Men: From the Ashes, while DC will be kickstarting its Absolute Power event.

When is Free Comic Book Day? 

Free Comic Book Day 2024 will be May 4, 2024. The event is traditionally the first Saturday in May after the original FCBD, which was organized in 2002 by comic shop owner Joe Field and Image Comics co-founder Jim Valentino. It was scheduled to coincide with the release of Spider-Man as a means of capitalizing on the positive interest generated by a new wave of successful comic book movies, like X-Men and Blade. 

The original release date stuck as a tradition, with every FCBD taking place the first Saturday in May (the lone exception being 2004’s event, which was shuffled to July to the release of Spider-Man 2).

How to get Free Comic Book Day’s free comics

To get Free Comic Book Day comics, just visit your local comic shop. The availability of comics can vary by location, though. To find out where your local store is, you can check out Comic Shop Locator. 

FCBD offerings consist of two tiers, Gold and Silver, which refer to the availability of the titles. A Gold title is available at every shop for FCBD, while Silver titles must be specifically ordered by the shop. As such, Silver titles may be less commonly available.

While the comics themselves are free, your local comic shop does still have to order them, albeit at a heavily discounted rate. As such, many fans consider it good etiquette to support your local store by buying a few comics while you’re there for the freebies. Some stores may also have a special sale or event event for FBCD, like creator signings and contests.
