Sub-City Comics in Galway is one of thousands of comic book shops around the world celebrating the comic book art form on Saturday, 3 May.

On Free Comic Book Day, over two million comic books will be given away by participating stores, introducing as many people as possible to comic books!

"The wide array of comic books being published today ensures that readers of all ages — children, teens, and adults - can find something appropriate that will stir their imaginations," said Brian Curley, owner of Sub-City Comics.

Now in its seventh year, Free Comic Book Day has proven to be a smashing success, spreading the word that comics are terrific reading. "Even if you have never picked up a comic book, stop into Sub-City Comics because you never know what you will end up finding."

"Comic books and graphic novels are considered hip, hot and smart." Comic Books have propelled to the front ranks of pop culture, many being adapted into movies. Ironman hits the big screen on Friday 2 May. The first weekend of May is going to be a big day in the comic book world," said Mr Curley.
