My Secret Identity in Sydney, Nova Scotia is one of the thousands of comic book shops around the world celebrating the largest event in the comic book industry on Saturday, May 5th: Free Comic Book Day (FCBD)!

Each year, thousands of participating stores give away over five million comic books to millions of fans to introduce them to the wonders of comics.

“Free Comic Book Day is a great event for the whole community. Bringing everyone together, finding books for everyone to enjoy, and seeing people of all ages—children, teens, and adults—sharing our passion for comics is incredible,” said Jeff Gusso, Owner of My Secret Identity. “Even if you’ve never picked up a comic book, we want to welcome everyone to My Secret Identity on May 5th, because there are so many amazing comics this year and we can’t wait to share them.”

This is the 4th year My Secret Identity will celebrate FCBD, offering the community a fun, family-oriented event where everyone can find a comic they’ll enjoy. We will also have visitors and special contests for the day.

“With awesome titles like Avengers, Captain America, DC Super Hero Girls, and more , we’re sure there’s a comic book for everyone,” Gusso continued. “Comics are a fun and enduring form of entertainment for readers of all ages to dive into as imagination comes to life. Whether it be popular comics, film, television shows, or video games, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”
