Now in its ninth year, Free Comic Book Day has proven to be a smashing success, spreading the word that comics are great reading. “Even if you have never picked up a comic book, stop into Mark One, because you never know what you will end up finding.”
“We at Mark One want to spread the word that comics are alive and well in 2010 - Comic books and graphic novels are considered hip, hot and smart.” Comic Books have propelled to the front ranks of pop culture, many being adapted into movies.
The first weekend of May is always a special day in the comic book world – even more so at Mark One because it marks the anniversary of the shop opening in Hamilton – this year we celebrate 21 great years!”
