How Betty’s Books celebrates inclusivity during Free Comic Book Day

Free Comic Book Day has encouraged readers to pick up a new comic and graphic novel since 2002. The event is observed on the first Saturday of May and draws crowds across the country to local comic book shops where fans anticipate exclusive editions of their favorite comic books.

Betty’s Books in Webster Groves is handing out a limited publication that’s unique to St. Louis — a community-backed “zine” featuring local professional and amateur storytellers.
