Celebrate Free Comic Book Day one more time at Flying Colors Comics store in Concord, which is where Joe Field originally came up with the idea.
CONCORD, CALIFORNIA – August 04: Flying Colors Comics owner Joe Field poses for a portrait before his store opens on Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2021, in Concord, Calif. Field is the founder of Free Comic Book Day. “I came up with the idea for Free Comic Book Day when I was a columnist for an industry trade magazine,” says Field, who is the owner of the Flying Colors Comics and Other Cool Stuff store in Concord.
“The first FCBD was on May 4 2002, so this year’s event, also on May 4 is the 23rd annual Free Comic book Day,” Field says. “Over the last 22 years, FCBD shops have given away tens of millions of free comic books in more than 2,000 shops in more than 60 countries the world over.’ “This year’s FCBD at Flying Colors will be the final one in the shop where the international pop culture event was founded,” Field says. “When our last lease expired, our landlord would only give us three years and gave no option to renew. That lease expires in January 2025, and I tried to get an extension, but was told the owners of this center really wanted to put in a bagel shop. I can’t tell you how many sleepless nights this has given me and my wife, Libby, the co-owner of Flying Colors.
“We’re very hopeful and now actually pretty excited by what the future of Flying Colors could be,” he says.
