Comics for all! — 5/02/2024

photos of people in cosplay arranged in comic page blocks with words Comics for all in yellow burst

In this week’s cover story we get excited about Free Comic Book Day — this Saturday’s celebration of comics and comics-related art and culture. We also find out about next Saturday’s Kids Con, which brings comics (and reading, but don’t tell the kids) to the next generation. And we talk to some local artists about their new projects and how to start your own cartooning journey. Photos on the cover courtesy of Jetpack Comics.

Also on the cover Mother’s Day is May 12 — next Sunday! Make those reservations for a special brunch or dinner (see page 24 for a rundown of what some area restaurants are doing).

The upcoming series of NH Gay Men’s Chorus concerts take the audience into the concert creation process (page 16).

The Manchester band Donaher brings its new single to a hometown show (page 32).
