BATMAN AND ALL STAR COMICS KIDS CLUB DAY!

We are lighting up the Bat-Signal and putting the call out to all Bat-Fans!

Some might say that every day in a comic book store is Batman Day. They'd be right but DC Comics has gone to trouble and dubbed SATURDAY THE 17TH OF SEPTEMBER, BATMAN DAY, creating a chance for YOU to be part of a WORLDWIDE celebration of one of comics most loved detective/crime fighter/superhero icons ever.

We'd love to invite you to join us on SATURDAY THE 17TH OF SEPTEMBER for Bat fun and games with activities, giveaways and appearances. And as it so happens since this day is such a great family event we will be coupling Batman Day up with our next All Star Comics Kids Club day too!

At a glimpse this is what you can look forward to on the day:  

-A FREE BATMAN #1 BATMAN DAY SPECIAL EDITION 

This comic reprints the recently sold out release of the new Batman #1 and will be available FREE to anyone that comes in on the day. This comic can be picked up at the front counter with no purchase necessary! (limited stock)
