Friday Freebies: May 4, 2018

SAN ANTONIO – The first Saturday in May is like Christmas for comic book fans: it's Free Comic Book Day.

Retailers across San Antonio are participating, giving away hundreds of free, brand-new comics. So if you’re a long-time fan or just curious about where all the super-hero movies came from, everyone is welcome. Be sure you get to a store near your early, because supplies are limited. And quantities may be limited at some locations.

Just show your credit or debit card to get in. The DoSeum, Witte Museum, McNay Art Museum and the San Antonio Art Museum are participating.
