Read Comics in Public Day, celebrated each year on the birthday of the late Jack "King" Kirby, is meant to remind would-be-readers what a delight the medium can be. Trouble is, in 2017, much of your comics diet is likely digital. You're enjoying GoComics.com right now, but to the outside world, you're simply a person at a laptop, or on your phone, or holding a tablet. Unlike printed comics, the digital experience is inherently more anonymous. The solution is sharing! You can simply post a link to this gallery on social media or in an email to every person you've ever known.

But first, we want you to enjoy reading comics about comic book characters reading comics. It's only fitting. Happy Read Comics in Public Day!
