If you are a reserve customer who would like to reserve any of these titles, please send an email to heroespulls@gmail.com by no later than Thursday, May 5.
We’ll do our best to fulfill each request, but please remember that quantities are very limited.

Everyone who comes into the store on that day will have the option of picking several different titles while supplies last. We’ll have staff on hand to help navigate the proceedings. As in years past, taking multiple copies of the same title will be prohibited. We’re happy to have Free Comic Book Day back in May again, but want to make sure we have comics for as many customers as possible. 

As per the updated Mecklenburg County mandate, we will NOT be requiring masks in the store for this event.
We still encourage social distancing, which remains a nice, neighborly practice for all of us to observe. As in years past, we may also limit the number of people in the store at a given time. This is done in part to keep what will certainly be a warm day from becoming too uncomfortable for the customers in our store.

Because of our continued work on HeroesCon, we will NOT be hosting any artists at our Free Comic Book Day event this year.
Our tiny staff is hard at work bringing the HeroesCon back, and this year will be our largest one yet! With hundreds of incredible artists in attendance in June, we will be working right up to the show to make it the 40th Anniversary HeroesCon that you have all been waiting for.

Free Comic Book Day will be lots of fun for everyone, and a great way to kick off HeroesCon season!

As always, we appreciate your enthusiasm and continued support!

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY :: Saturday, August 14, 2021

August 10, 2021 By: Karla Southern Category: DISCUSS, EVENTS, Free Comic Book Day, Heroes Aren't Hard To Find, Looking Ahead, NEWS, Now Read This!

Saturday, August 14, 2021

FCBD 2021

This Saturday, August 14, 2021 is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY for Comic Book Stores all across the country.

Typically, Free Comic Book Day would fall on the first Saturday in May and Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find would celebrate by inviting several of our favorite comic-book artists to join us for the day to sign comics and draw sketches.

2020 and 2021 have NOT been “typical” by any stretch of the imagination, and here we find ourselves celebrating Free Comic Book Day in one of the HOTTEST months of the year.

So, while we will have a limited stock* of Free Comic Book Day books to give away on Saturday, we will NOT be hosting Artists at our store this year.
(It’s just TOO HOT to ask Artists or Customers to stand outside in the heat.)

We will be limiting the number of people in the store on Saturday to 30 people at a time (including staff), and masks are required for EVERYONE regardless of vaccination status. This will be enforced throughout the event.

*It’s worth noting that Free Comic Book Day books were ordered many months ago, back when the pandemic made events even more tentative than they are now. As a result, we ordered fewer quantities of titles than we typically would, and will be limiting availability to all customers.

We appreciate your understanding and we look forward to seeing you this weekend!

In addition to all the Free Comics and great artists, we’ll also be debuting a brand new, never before touched sale stock on Saturday! More specifically, this is a 27 box dollar stock that happens to be in alpha-numeric order. That’s right, it’s all in alpha-numeric order! Buy single books for $1 or fill a long box for $250. We haven’t debuted anything like this in quite some time, so bring your back issue want lists and enjoy the ease of shopping through an organized stock.

PARKING: This is always a big question for FCBD attendees. We want you to know there are plenty of parking options for Saturday. You can park anywhere in the lots directly beside or behind Heroes without the threat of being towed. This includes in front of any of the businesses from Dollar General down to the former Florist, including the small lot on the other side of the Florist. Our neighbors are kind to let us use their spaces for their event, so please patronize them on Saturday. We would love for them to see a little extra business from our FCBD crowd. This is our largest store event of the year, and these lots may fill quickly. The good news is that Saturday’s weather is supposed to be perfect for the event. If and when these lots fill up, remember that you can park on any of the surrounding streets behind Heroes. 8th Street and beyond has plenty of on-street parking, and it’ll be a beautiful day to walk a block or two to Heroes.

There are a few places you cannot park. Those are the four spaces directly in front of the Laundry in the lot next to Heroes, and in any of the spaces across Pecan at Pecan Point. This includes all of the parking spaces in the shopping center including businesses like Anntony’s Caribbean, Bang Bang Burgers, and around to Sunflour Bakery. You will be towed at your own expense if you park in any of those spaces, so heed that warning now, and remember it on Saturday.

We expect hundreds of people to pass through Heroes on Saturday, but there are many more parking options for you this year. As with your actions in the store, we would appreciate you being respectful of our neighbors, parking lot, and neighborhood. This is a large and busy event, but it’s one designed to be enjoyed, and we can all work together to make sure that happens for everyone.
