So for those who don’t know (which I am pretty sure is everyone who looks at my blog), the first Saturday in May is Free Comic Book Day.

Basically, it’s a chance to head to your local comic book store and pick up some free comic books. A lot of publishers put out books for this day, and it’s a good chance to get your feet wet in the comic world without dropping any cash.

So, if you’re out and about on May 5th, take a trip over to Gatekeeper Hobbies. It’s not only the lone comic book store in Topeka; it’s the best one I have ever shopped in. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and they are more than willing to help you find a title that will pique your interests, and if you are looking for a certain book, they will go out of their way to get it for you.

So May 5th is not only a great chance to score some free comics, it’s also a great opportunity to support the local economy.

And for those of you who can't find Gatekeeper, here is a handy map courtesy of Google:
