It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's ... National Comic Book Day 2012!

From Archie to X-Men, be sure to geek out with your favorite comics on this holiday.

 

To all of those who believe in Harvey Dent and Gotham City, rejoice.

September 25 is National Comic Book day. This is a day for people of all ages to enjoy, since the first-ever comic book superhero made his first appearance in 1938. While some characters have new looks, and some of their storylines have changed completely, comic enthusiasts can still share their love of their favorite characters, old and new.

This geeky holiday is a great time for comic fans to honor their superhero, heroine or villain’s best stories. Locally there are a variety of places to pick up comics; Sarge's in New London, Arkham Asylum in Norwich are two that come to mind. Try the Raymond Library, too. 

National Comic Book day is also a good precursor for the famous New York Comic Con. This year, it will be held during October 11-14 at the Jacob Javits Center, where heroes and villains will walk the streets of Gotham.
