Hey, kids, free comics!

Yep, it's that time of year again. The annual Free Comic Book Day is Saturday as comic-book shops promote comics while hoping to capitalize on the fervor surrounding “Spider-Man 3.” Here in the Springs, Bargain Comics and Ed’s Cards & Comics are taking part. The free comic I’d like to get my hands on is Marvel’s “Amazing Spider-Man: Swing Shift,” an all-new story specially produced for Free Comic Book Day.
