🦸‍♂️ Free Comic Book Day is May 2, 2026! 🦸‍♂️

This week, the Time Pals sit down with Free Comic Book Day founder Joe Field to talk about the origins of one of comics’ biggest annual events, how Flying Colors Comics became a beloved, community-first shop, his role as co-owner of WonderCon—and, of course, the stories behind some of his favorite comics and artists.

Find out:
• What was the rarest item to ever enter the shop?
• The comic that hooked him and started it all (and it involves a broken arm!)
• How Stockton, CA became the birthplace of the Fantastic Four
• Stan Lee delivering the most Stan Lee quote ever
• Underrated comics you should be reading

…and so much more!

This episode is packed with heart, history, and pure comics love. Don’t miss it!
