Today is...
National Comic Book Day!

These creative and inventive books have been entertaining children and adults alike for more than 200 years!
While comic books have quite a storied history, they reached massive popularity in the late 1930s. By the mid 1940s, comic books were outselling traditional books. From Spider-Man to Batman to Superman, we all know a little something about these sketched panel books.
To celebrate National Comic Book Day, take a few minutes to catch up on your favorite comic or watch a movie based on your favorite series!
