Supergirl, Squadron Supreme, Fantastic Four artist Leonard Kirk, Amazing Spiderman, Iron Man and several other comics and pop-cultural stars, will appear at Shoppers World (Hurontario and Steeles Avenue) to amuse children as well as people of all age groups.

Stadium Comics, a bookstore at the mall, will join thousands of comic book shops around the world on Saturday (May 7) to celebrate comic book art. Every year on Free Comic Book Day, participating stores give away millions of comic books to introduce many people to the wonders of the art form.

“The event brings visitors from all over the GTA to the Brampton shop for the day,” said Kevin Hickey, co-owner of Stadium Comics. “This is by far our biggest event of the year, and we’re happy to host it here in Brampton.”

The event will feature over a dozen special guests, costumed heroes, and will produce the store’s highest sales of the year.
