Every year, on the first Saturday in May, the industry comes together to give away free comics and 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.
On May 3, pick up a stamp book at any participating comic shop.
Earn a stamp at each store you visit. Collect enough stamps, and you’ll earn a FCBD 2025 Comic Crawl challenge coin! This challenge coin entitles you to participate in a special customer appreciation sale May 10th-11th, and you'll be entered into our grand prize raffle.
Get a stamp from every participating store and you’ll earn a custom engraved metal challenge coin to commemorate your achievement and claim your bragging rights as one of the ultimate nerds in Chicago.
