On Saturday, October 27, Cosmic Comix is putting on our annual celebration of Halloween and all things spooooky. It's HALLOWEEN COMICFEST 2018! This will mark the seventh anniversary of the event (it's always the Saturday before Halloween), and just as in years past it's gonna be a great time. We like to consider it the fall version of Free Comic Book Day, and just like FCBD... it's one of our biggest parties of the year!
This year, we're dividing the event into distinct entities:
KIDS OF ALL AGES : 11 AM - 3 PM
ADULTS OF ALL AGES : 4 - 7 PM
So no matter what type of experience you're looking for on Halloween ComicFest, we've got you covered! Let's start with the kids...
*** KIDS OF ALL AGES : 11 AM - 3 PM ***
Our goal, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, is to spread our love of comics far and wide. Comic books are a fun and exciting way to introduce kids to reading and help children comprehend storylines. Comics have proven to be a wonderful educational tool to help reluctant readers to take an interest in, and develop a lifelong love of, reading. To that end, we want to promote literacy even more by distributing...
FREE COMICS!
We will have numerous Halloween-themed comics to choose from, specially printed just for Halloween ComicFest! These comics will be our spotlight titles for kids!
FREE SKETCHES!
Our buddy Chris Vance will be here from 11 am - 3 pm doing sketches, absolutely FREE, for anyone who asks! His specialty is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but he’ll do anything you want!
As for a bio, his buddy Kurt said: "Chris Vance is an amazing comic artist! He graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design. He is the lead artist and a head founder of the hilarious webcomic Bunnies On Fire. He’s done countless commissions and sketches for fans all over the country."
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!
Of course it is Halloween, so come dressed as your favorite superhero! The staff here will all be dressed up, and we invite you to join the fun! Who knows? Maybe we’ll decide to give you a prize if your costume is particularly awesome??
HALLOWEEN COMICFEST
POP STAR-LORD!
Based on his appearance in the Guardians of the Galaxy series by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, this exclusive POP! figure features Peter in his signature full-face mask with his laser guns drawn and ready. Released to coincide with Halloween Comicfest 2018, don't miss out on this PREVIEWS Exclusive!
DECORATIONS, CANDY, AND FUN, FUN, FUN!
You know it and we know it: THIS IS A PARTY! We like to think of it as one of our biggest parties of the year (second only to Free Comic Book Day, of course) and it is a blast from start to finish. The store will be decked out in spooky decorations, we’ll have those Cosmic Comix Super Specials everywhere, and it’s just gonna be a good time.
Like I said, the first part of the day will be a great event for comic and Halloween fans of all ages! Come and celebrate Halloween this year at Cosmic Comix!
*** ADULTS OF ALL AGES : 4 - 7 PM ***
After 4 pm, a darker feeling takes over. If you want to take advantage of the sale and get in on some free comics, but you'd rather come to the store when it's a little quieter -- I would even say, a little spookier -- then this is the time for you.
You can still expect a lot of the great things from earlier in the day:
FREE COMICS!
We will still have Halloween-themed comics to choose from, specially printed just for Halloween ComicFest! These comics will be our spotlight titles for adults!
BONUS DISCOUNTS!
Dare you risk even deeper discounts by sticking your hand into the dark, smoking mystery that is the... CAULDRON OF DOOM??
We will indeed have a smoking cauldron of bonus deals here for you from 4-7 pm. There are 48 DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES to choose from. All you have to do is reach in and take one! Possibilities include:
50% off any one item
50% off any trade paperback

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!
And of course it is Halloween, so come dressed as your favorite superhero! The staff here will all be dressed up, and we invite you to join the fun! Who knows? Maybe we’ll decide to give you a prize if your costume is particularly awesome??
DECORATIONS, CANDY, AND FUN, FUN, FUN!
