So here is the problem. Every time I go to my LCS they give me free books. Now I don't really care about these comics and once I've read them they just end up taking up space. What do people usually do when they have a stack of unwanted comics. I want to say garbage but that seems like a cruel fate for them.

Take them some place where there are kids like a doctors office or dentist office.

Kids are always great to give books to if you don't want them rather than trash them.

 

I've got a brand new funny video for my collectibles research website, Part 2 of the "Gotham Growl" with Batman (the Dark Knight version).

Maybe auction them as a large group.
1) Someone will enjoy them.
2) You'll make a little bit of money.
3) The comic books (not great works of art, but still art) will live another day.

Win-Win-Win.

I actually enjoy reading the "Free Comic Givaways", and don't mind the space they take up.

If they are acceptable for all ages...

1) Check with your local children's clinic or dental offices...

2) Hospital(s)...

3) Boys & Girls Clubs or similar organizations...

If they are geared for an older crowd...

1) University or Community College lounge areas...

2) Tattoo parlors and piercing establishments...

And with any of them...make sure you get permission first...

One option is you could just give them to me!!!
I'll always take in stray comics.

Yes,I'll second that emotion.Giving any kind of books (not just comics)
gives someone an experience they'll never lose.Knowledge and entertainment
derived from books is something no one can take away from you.
