BRAMPTON— Comic fans had a chance to “trick or treat” at Brampton’s Stadium Comics Saturday as the shop handed out free comics again this year.

The store, which hosted Halloween ComicFest from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at its Shoppers World location, featured a day of free comic giveaways and other Halloween related goodies.

Halloween ComicFest is an event celebrated at comic shops all over the world that day, but Stadium Comics runs one of the biggest events in Canada.

“ComicFest started a couple years ago because of the success of Free Comic Book Day, which usually takes place in May,” said Kevin Hickey, co-owner of Stadium Comics. “Those events were received so positively by the public that the comics industry decided to have a second day during the year to hand out free comics to everyone.”
