On May 4th, 2024 comic book shops around the World celebrated the most important day in comic book geekdom: Free Comic Book Day. As if that wasn't enough, geekdom also celebrated May The 4th which is THE DAY for Star Wars fans all around the World. Truthful Comics was represented at Zeno's Books in Chesapeake, Virginia by Manuel A. Carmona and Alvaro Cortes Jr over at Anyone Comics in Brooklyn, New York. To say we had a great day would be an understatement! Everyone had an amazing time, there were kids, teenagers and adults alike; all of whom were there to get free comics but also to BUY COMIC BOOKS! It was truly one of the best Free Comic Book Day events we've ever been a part of.

On December 17th, Lifepoint Church Hampton Roads hosted their first ever Winter Wonderland and they graciously invited us and our non-profit initiative Comics for Christmas. The event was an absolute blast! There was a cookie decorating table, hot cocoa, a photo booth, muffins, inflatable characters, comic books for the kids and there were toys being handed out to parents who needed a helping hand. The kids were taken to a "daycare" area where they played and had fun while mom and/or dad "shopped" and had their gifts wrapped and safely stored away without the kids seeing. It was truly a magical day! We handed out candy and tons of comic books for every kid in attendance who wanted some and even gave some to some kids at heart, amongst them an elderly lady who asked for some comics for her grandkids and also a US Marine. On Sunday, October 8th, 2023, the Lancaster Community Library hosted their first ever Lancaster Comic Con and Truthful Comics was in attendance! I have to be honest, whenever there's a new event like this one, especially if it's in a remote area there's a high probability that attendance will be low and sales will be few and far in between; I'm here to tell you this was NOT THE CASE for this Comic Con! We loved everything about this convention, from the organization to the events to the decorations to the contests; everything was well thought out and superbly executed. There were so many people in costumes and not just in costumes, actually engaging creators and buying stuff! There was a Super Mario Kart Tournament, Cosplay Contest, there were guest speakers, there were activities for the kids, there was food, the staff was attentive and so IN on the whole event; this was such a pleasant surprise and we can't wait for the next one! We'd like to give thanks to the entire Lancaster Community Library Staff, especially Elizabeth Sheldon for inviting us and putting this whole event together. Fantastic job! **Due to unforeseen circumstances with the Lancaster Community Library's website hosting service, their site is temporarily down, so... here is some important information regarding their first ever Comic Con event on Sunday, October 8th from 12pm-4pm.
