It’s a steal for comic lovers! India’s first Free Comic Book Weekend from May 4 to 5 give fans a chance to download comics from any part of the country over a period of two days, absolutely free. Jatin Varma, Founder, Comic Con India, says, “The idea is to promote Indian comics and create a buzz around them. Internationally, it’s held only for a day, and fans can enter comic bookstores and pick up free, exclusive stuff from various publishers.

Since, there are no such stores in India, we decided to partner with Readwhere and use their digital platform to reach out to readers in every nook and corner. Also, instead of just one day of free comics, we are extending it and having it on two days. This will be our first year and we hope to expand on this in the coming years.” He adds, “While there are no exclusive editions this year, each of the participating publishers has shared some of their most popular titles to be given out free digitally this coming weekend. We are hoping in the coming years not only will we have more to offer, but we will also have exclusive editions and comics.”
