Holy Smokes, Batman—It's National Comic Book Day 2012!

To all of those who believe in Harvey Dent and Gotham City, rejoice.

September 25 is National Comic Book day. This is a day for people of all ages to enjoy, since the first-ever comic book superhero made his first appearance in 1938. While some characters have new looks, and some of their storylines have changed completely, comic enthusiasts can still share their love of their favorite characters, old and new.

This geeky holiday is a great time for comic fans to honor their superhero, heroine or villain’s best stories.

Consider stopping by Lee's Comics to indulge on some of your favorite comic books. Is your wallet a little tight? The Mountain View Public Library has a large selection of graphic novels on the second floor and a manga collection in the teen area. (Yes, those aren't comics but have been undoubtedly influenced by them.)

From Batman to Archie and the gang, today celebrates everyone’s favorite comic characters.

TELL US: Who is your favorite comic book character? Also, upload photos of your personal comic book collection.

Don't miss a thing in Mountain View!
