Halloween ComicFest, the annual free comic book event, has announced the 34 comic book titles that will be made available at participating comic shops around the world during the event. This year 22 full size and 12 mini-comics will be available for free at participating comic shops during the event on Saturday, October 27, 2018.
“This year’s Halloween ComicFest is poised to be the best yet!” said Halloween ComicFest spokesperson Ashton Greenwood. “The comics available this year reflect a broad range of tastes. The All-Ages Mini Comics feature popular characters like Rocky & Bullwinkle, Archie, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while the Full-Size Comics feature well-known properties like Hellblazer, Spider-Man, and Goosebumps! Halloween ComicFest is the perfect time to introduce friends and families to the wonders of comic shops, and experience them as premiere destinations for Halloween fun!”
Like in year’s past, the mini-comics will also be available to purchase in packs of 25 for $4.99 as an alternative to candy to pass out at Halloween. The books will be available for purchase at the beginning of October.
