The calendar has aligned perfectly as Free Comic Book Day and Star Wars Day: May The Fourth Be With You both land on the same day. Below you will find a list of Arizona comic book stores who have announced activities for FCBD on May 4.  As I come across more or details are released, I will update this article. So map a day of comic books, visit a few stores, and make sure to support your local shops. It might be free to you but these comics are not free for the comic shops so make a purchase if you can.
