How many free comics can I get? 5 free comics per person +5 BONUS free comics if you bring a donation for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Canned food is good. Cash and checks made out to BRAFB are extra appreciated. (Did you know that the BRAFB can provide 4 meals to local families for every $1 donated!?)

Can I wear a costume? COSTUMES ARE ENCOURAGED! It’s one of our favorite things about FCBD. Let your fandom flag fly!
Will there be a Tent Sale this year? YES!
Will there be Online Sales or discounts on the website? No. We are expecting record in-person turnout this year and will not be able to have an online sale on our website.
Can I bring some comics/graphic novels to trade in for cash or credit? Yes, we are accepting trade-ins, but there will be an extended turnaround time for the week before and after Free Comic Book Day.
Do you provide free comics to classrooms? YES! Local teachers in Charlottesville or local areas (Albemarle, Crozet, etc) can sign up their classrooms on our website - update: signups are closed for 2026.
