Free Comic Book Day is an annual promotional effort by the North American comic book industry to attract new readers to independent comic book stores. It usually takes place on the first Saturday of May and has historically been cross-promoted with the release of a superhero film. It is held around the world, including in Australia.
In 2025, Mad Cave Studios released their #0 issue on Free Comic Day. In 2026, Mad Cave Studios did not release another issue. In 2015 and 2016, Hermes Press released two issues on Free Comic Day, when they had the license.
