Free Comic Book Day is better sweet for one of our shops. This is the last FCBD for The Comic Cave. The Comic Cave is going out of business. This is the start of their liquidation sale. There will be deals to be had at The Comic Cave.
Along with the deals, you can meet some awesome comic creators at The Comic Cave on Saturday May the 4th. The master comic writer Cullen Bunn will be there signing comics. He is joined by writer and artist Kyle Strahm. These two have teamed up for the Image horror comic, Unearth.
