Free Comic Book Day has become a bona fide holiday for comic book fans nationwide and beyond. We recognize this, which is why we provided you with our list of DC Comics talent signings last week. It’s also why we went on Twitter and asked you to send us your FCBD photos and tweets using the #DCFCBD hashtag.
We were very impressed with what we received, so we’ve compiled some of these tweets and photos below. Consider it our virtual scrapbook of FCBD, as compiled by you, the DC Comics fans. Enjoy!
