Free Comic Book Day at Golden Age Collectables
This event is in the past
Saturday, May 7, 2022, 9 am–6 pm
Golden Age Collectables
Pike Place Market (Seattle)
This is an in-person event
Free
In the murky bowels of Pike Place Market, on the fourth circle of the DownUnder district, inside a weird little wooden Victorian-era corner-hole, lies Golden Age Collectables, the O.G. of Seattle’s comic shops–and the last comic (-book store) standing in the downtown area, now that poor old Zanadu’s bitten the dust. It’s also thought to be the oldest comic shop in the world, having been established by 19-year-old Rod Dyke in 1961. On Saturday, they’ll be giving away free comic books to anyone who stops by, and if you buy something, you get even MORE free comics! Plus people will be dressed up like Harley Quinn and Batman and Spider-Man. (By the way, did you know that Spider-Man takes a hyphen in his name, but Batman does not? Oh, right, you did, ’cause you’re a big nerd. Right.)
