FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

*Diamond Postpones Free Comic Book Day 2020*



*(BALTIMORE, MD) — (March 19, 2020) —* As the impact and spread of the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve, Diamond Comic Distributors is
aware that Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) will be impacted to varying degrees
throughout the world. With that in mind, Diamond Comic Distributors has
made the difficult decision to postpone the event to a date later in the
Summer.

“The severity and timing of the impact of the COVID-19 virus can’t be
predicted with any certainty, but the safety of our retailer partners and
comic book fans is too important to risk. As always, we appreciate your
enthusiasm for and support of the comic industry’s best event and look
forward to celebrating with you later in the Summer,” said Diamond Founder
and CEO, Steve Geppi.

Free Comic Book Day 2020 offers a selection of 47 titles available
absolutely free at participating local comic shops across the United States
and around the world. The 47 titles represent a broad range of taste, from
superheroes, to sci-fi, to action-adventure, slice-of-life, manga, and so
much more! The Free Comic Book Day selection is designed to appeal to every
type of reader out there.

Diamond will announce additional information soon regarding FCBD non-comic
merchandise. As further updates become available, we will continue to share
via the *Official Free Comic Book Day website*
