<p>For those of you unaware, Saturday May 6 is free comic book day. This is an annual event for comic book stores, distributors and creators to raise awareness of the industry and to help promote literacy through free comics.</p>
<p> </p>

Feel free to talk about what free books you think will be cool below or to just give the location or your local shop.</p><p> Free books this year include an Archie Comic, a Bongo (Simpsons) comic, and an X-Men/Runaways comic.

<p> <br />I buy my comics at<br /> </p><p><strong>Stinky's Comics -</strong><br /><strong>3838 Sunrise Hwy</strong><br /><strong>Seaford</strong><br /><strong>New York</strong><br /><strong>11783-2634</strong><br /><strong>516.541.6487</strong></p><p>When the guy at the counter is named "Stinky" you know its got to be good. I've known Stinky for around 12 years and found him to be knowledgable, funny and a real character. He has a good selection of comics, action figures and other cool stuff.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

<p>Weird as hell. Last two callers mentioned FunnyBooks and Sci-Fi City. I live in a suburb of Orlando and have intended to go to Sci-Fi City, after I moved here at 9. But from the years of 2-8, I frequented what is now FunnyBooks, because I lived down the road on Katherine Rd.</p><p> </p><p>I wanted to call in, but I got a busy signal... </p>
