We believe strongly that literacy is an essential skill that needs to be nurtured at a young age.
Since 2011, we have been proud to offer our Comics for A’s program exclusively at Big B Comics.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does this offer run?
Comics for A’s wrapped up for 2024 on July 21st. We will return in February 2025!
How does this work?
During the promotion, bring your current report card to Big B Comics and you will get free comics for every A on your report card! Our staff will show you the large selection of comics you can choose from.
What’s the catch?
There really isn’t one! We just want to encourage kids to work hard at school and learn to love reading. We think comics are a perfect gateway.
Do kindergarten report cards count?
Absolutely! We don’t let a little thing like not having a letter or percentage grade stop us from giving away comics to these hardworking kids. Kids in JK/SK can get 2 free comics per report card.
I don’t have any A’s on my report card, can I still get anything?
If you didn’t get any A’s, don’t sweat! We recognize everyone learns differently and still want to support reading for all kids. Every kid with a report card gets 2 free comics.
Do A minuses and percentages count?
Of course! An A- is still an A and anything above 80% is considered an A.
I missed out this time. When will you run the promotion again?
We run the program every year for midterm reports in February and final reports in June/July.
I’m in university or college, does it still count for me?
No, sorry. The program applies to students from JK to grade 12.
What’s the maximum number of free comics I can get?
You can get up to 5 free comics.
