Free Comic Book Day took place May 3rd. Though
traffic was steady here all day, we had no lines waiting to get into the store
as we have see in past years, with only two people waiting at the door when we
opened. The drizzle and threatened thunderstorms may have accounted for that as
well as the drastic drop in costumed customers.
Though the Marvel and DC books were popular as always, I was rather
surprised to see the popularity of the Black Mirror book from Twisted
Comics as it was the first book of which we ran out. Our figures showed sales
up about 20% from 2024 but down the same amount from 2023, with about half the
people coming into the store just scooping up the freebies.
