Holy Smokes, Batman—It's National Comic Book Day 2012
Whether you love Spiderman, X-men or Batman, geek out with your favorite comics at these Hollywood shops on Tuesday.
To all of those who believe in Harvey Dent and Gotham City, rejoice.
Sept. 25 is National Comic Book day. This is a day for people of all ages to enjoy, since the first-ever comic book superhero made his first appearance in 1938. While some characters have new looks, and some of their storylines have changed completely, comic enthusiasts can still share their love of their favorite characters, old and new.
This geeky holiday is a great time for comic fans to honor their superhero, heroine or villain’s best stories. Not to be confused with the better known Free Comic Book Day held every May, this is a day for people of all ages to celebrate the comic book and graphic novel.
