(City of Pocatello Press Release, April 28, 2026)
Marshall Public Library is thrilled to announce its participation in the 24th annual Free Comic Book Day Saturday, May 2, 2026! Join us for a fun-filled day as we give away free comic books to readers of all ages (while supplies last).
Free Comic Book Day is a worldwide event where over 2,000 comic book shops and libraries open their doors to new and longtime fans, offering a selection of special edition comics at no cost. Thanks to our local comic book shop, Captain Bengal’s Comic Cove, the Marshall Public Library will be able to offer a number of this year’s titles, including Avatar the Last Airbender, Amazing Spider-Man, and Dungeon Crawler Carl.
This event is open to all ages and registration is not required. Giveaways will begin when the library opens at 10 a.m. and will continue throughout the day. In addition to grabbing one of this year’s free comics, you can look forward to a bonus bin of comics from previous years, a comic -themed craft project happening in our Exploration Center, and a Spider-Man community puzzle.
The library thanks Bob Beason, owner of Captain Bengal’s Comic Cove, for his help and support with this event. Mr. Beason helped provide the comics for giveaway, including the additional titles available.
