Overview

Jackson's favorite destination for comics, vinyl, and pop culture goes all out for the nationwide Free Comic Book Day celebration. OffBeat will be giving away a wide selection of free comics while supplies last, with a special in-store sale and exclusive merchandise rounding out the day.

The event brings the page to life with featured creators on site: artist Justin Ransburg will be selling original artwork and hosting live drawing demonstrations, while Mallory Kay of Small Talk will be offering flash tattoos. Temporary tattoos for kids make it a welcoming stop for families with young readers and curious newcomers alike.

Limited edition OffBeat merchandise — including exclusive capes — will also be available, giving attendees something collectible to take home alongside their free comics.

Whether you're a longtime collector, an art enthusiast, or just looking for something to do with the kids, this is a full day worth showing up for.
