Free Comic Book Day celebrates 11 years this year.

Comics range from The Avengers and Star Wars to Donald Duck and the Transformers. There's even a comic book on Animal Planet's World's Most Dangerous Animals.

There's literally a free comic book available for everyone's taste.

Nearly 2,000 comic book stores across North America and around the world are joining forces to give away millions of comic books absolutely free of charge to customers of all ages, as part of Free Comic Book Day.

It's a celebration of an international art form and the literacy that comics encourage, Free Comic Book Day salutes the medium's energy, vitality, and boundless creativity.
