National Comic Book Day

Spiderman and Superman are celebrated from the pages they originated on National Comic Book Day Saturday. Kokomo Howard County Public Library is helping the charisma of your favorite super heroes jump off the pages you love reading at the main branch downtown from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Faith Brautigam, Kokomo Howard County Public Library director, said National Comic Book Day will also encompass all things “Star Wars”.

“We will have a Star Wars day as well, where people – no matter the age – can dress up in their favorite Star Wars costumes and pose for a picture with our special guests,” Brautigm said on the morning show with Justin and Lindsay.
