The Bay Area’s Comic Art Museum is launching a “Comic Shop Hop” in conjunction with Free Comic Book Day on May 4.
The Fisherman’s Wharf based museum has created a passport that can be stamped as participants travel to comic shops around the Bay Area who are taking part in the annual day celebrating comic books. The passport can be acquired at any shops taking part.

The Bay Area has more comic shops than any other region of the United States. Within a 15-mile radius of San Francisco’s City Hall, there are no less than 10 stores pushing funny books on impressionable youth (and adults).
