On June 4, Atlantis Fantasyworld — a local comic book shop famous for appearing in “The Lost Boys” — will hold a special event featuring a screening of a movie about the first Bay Area Star Trek convention, a book signing with former Star Trek actress Joanne Linville, and a special celebration to bring 2T2 of “Captain Cosmic” fame out of storage.

Hollywood’s comic-based films for audiences of all ages continually bring in profits, and the comic book genre has proved its staying power in this digital age. This weekend locals can pick up free comic books in celebration of the eighth annual international Free Comic Book Day.
