As Avengers: Age Of Ultron dominates theatres, comic shops celebrated the medium on Saturday.

Continuing an annual tradition, local retailers took part in Free Comic Book Day. With a wide variety of events planned, readers took part in many activities for the whole family.

In Windsor, Paper Heroes: Comic Book Lounge & Collectables located at 2857 Howard Avenue, Border City Comics located at 4449 Tecumseh Road East and Rogues gallery located at 327 Chatham Street West all enjoyed a spike in business. Beyond offering free titles from several publishers, all three stores had one-day sales as well. Justice League artist Jason Fabok was also signing autographs at Border City Comics from 12:30 to 1 p.m. and at Paper Heroes from 1:30 until 2pm.

Still, today’s biggest winners were local charities. Rogues Gallery raised funds for The Beer Store’s Bottles For Leukaemia, Border City donated raffle ticket profits to the Humane Society and Paper Heroes hosted a barbecue benefitting Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

For those wanting to join in on the fun, there’s still time. Paper Heroes and Border City Comics are open until 5pm and Rogues Gallery closes at 8pm.
