The Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) Retailer Selection Committee has selected 44 comic book titles for the industry’s most anticipated annual event to take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at participating comic shops worldwide.

A committee of comic shop retailers chose 44 titles to be available on Free Comic Book Day: 13 Gold Sponsor comics and 31 Silver Sponsor comics that give fans an opportunity to discover new titles and genres. This year’s selection of Silver Sponsor comics includes beloved franchises such as Star Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Animal Crossing, Smurfs, and Street Fighter. Other notable Silver Sponsor titles are available from Gemstone Publishing, ABLAZE, First Second Books, Rebellion, TOKYOPOP, and more.

“Every year, we strive to bring fans a memorable Free Comic Book Day experience, and we know comic book retailers are looking forward to treating everyone to a day of fun and discovery, so we hope fans will visit their local comic shops to celebrate,” Free Comic Book Day spokesperson Ashton Greenwood said. “The variety of this year’s comic book selection is really exciting! There’s something for every kind of fan, from the long-time reader to the comic book curious.”

The complete listing of all 44 FCBD titles can be found in the December issue of Diamond Comic Distributors’ PREVIEWS catalog, on sale at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 23.
