Free Comic Day at the Augsburg City Library: A Busy Morning for Comic Fans
On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the city library at Ernst-Reuter-Platz in Augsburg will transform into a lively meeting place for comic fans, families, and young explorers. The Free Comic Day 2026 is primarily aimed at children and teenagers as a Kids & Teens edition, but it intentionally opens up to everyone who wants to discover the diversity of graphic literature. At the location in Augsburg, there will be free comics, creative participation activities, and a program that combines reading enjoyment with event atmosphere.

Comics, Creativity, and a Lively Meeting Place
The Free Comic Day is designed as a low-threshold action day nationwide: Free issues are central in libraries, bookstores, and comic stores, complemented by activities around reading promotion and pop culture. For Augsburg, this means a morning filled with a vibrant atmosphere, spirit of discovery, and lots of color between bookshelves and action areas. The city library provides the right framework as a cultural venue with events and space for encounters.

A Program with Clear Highlights
On-site, the distribution of free comics will start at 10 AM through a comic quiz, while supplies last. Additionally, there will be presentations by comic artists from Augsburg, Munich, and the region, an open drawing area, as well as further creative participation stations. At 2 PM, the award ceremony for the drawing competition will take place, and at 3 PM, Christian Schmiedbauer will read and draw live from his graphic novel People by the River.
