Scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 6th at thousands of locations nationwide, Free Comic Book Day is an annual promotional campaign developed by the North American comic book industry to help bring new readers of all ages and interests into independent comic book stores. Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) began in 2002 and is coordinated by the industry's single largest distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors. Readers should visit freecomicbookday.com to find local participating retailers in their area.

VIZ Media participates this year as both a Gold and Silver Level Sponsor with the following FREE exclusive releases (available while supplies last).

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA FCBD 2017 SAMPLER
A special Gold Level Sponsor sampler containing excerpts from the new THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TWILIGHT PRINCESS (rated ‘T’ for Teens) series and also THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: LEGENDARY EDITION – OCARINA OF TIME (rated ‘A’ for All Ages). Both series are inspired by the beloved Nintendo® role playing, puzzle-solving, action video game property.

Once upon a time, wizards tried to conquer the Sacred Realm of Hyrule. The Spirits of Light sealed the wizards' power within the Shadow Crystal and banished them to the Twilight Realm beyond the Mirror of Twilight. Now, an evil menace is trying to find Midna, Princess of the Twilight Realm, and the fragments of the Shadow Crystal to gain the power to rule over both the Twilight Realm and the World of Light.

BORUTO AND DRAGON BALL SUPER FCBD 2017 SAMPLER
A special Silver Level Sponsor sampler featuring excerpts from two of manga’s most revered properties.

In BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS (rated ‘T’ for Teens), Naruto was a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He achieved his dream to become the greatest ninja in his village, and now his face sits atop the Hokage monument. But this is not his story... A new generation of ninja are ready to take the stage, led by Naruto's own son, Boruto! Don’t miss this action-packed excerpt!

In DRAGON BALL SUPER (rated ‘T’ for Teens), ever since Goku became Earth’s greatest hero and gathered the seven Dragon Balls to defeat the evil Boo, his life on Earth has grown a little dull. But new threats loom overhead, and Goku and his friends will have to defend the planet once again in this continuation of Akira Toriyama’s best-selling series, DRAGON BALL!
