National Comic Book Day

So, comic books always make us feel good.There is no factual information on this special national day, simply a day for good triumphing over evil, and for saving the damsel in distress, Comic Book Day is all about enjoying a good comic.Incidentally, today is also Family Day, Math Storytelling Day and National One-Hit Wonder Day, which suggests a pretty awesome combined celebration.
