FREE Comic Book Day is returning to Swindon again this year at The Incredible Comic Shop.

Fans will be able to get their hands on specially-produced comics on Saturday, including The Avengers, Spiderman and DC Superheroes. And there will be rarer publications like The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Last year the shop had over 2,000 visitors and staff are hoping for more this time.

Owner Jonathan Brown said: “People come from all over on this day in particular and it is fantastic to see so many people interested in comics or even intrigued about getting involved.

“I want to encourage new readers of comic books to partake in the event because it will give you an insight as well as a chance to meet other readers.

“This is also a way for us to give something back to our loyal customers.”

The shop in the Brunel Centre is due to open at 9.30am on the day but there have been queues in the past and many of the rarer comics are expected to have been snapped up by 10am.

There will be competitions running throughout the day, including the chance to design a superhero.

Social media followers will also have the opportunity to join in and win a figurine.
