DC Comics has declared June 12 to be Man of Steel Day! Superman and comic lovers should plan a trip to their local comic book shop to pick up a free copy of ALL STAR SUPERMAN #1 SPECIAL EDITION comic on Man of Steel Day. Extra goodies will be in comic book stores in time for Man of Steel day too, and then libraries get in on the Superman act a few days later. More info below.

Press release stuff from this point forward:
In addition to the free comic, DC Entertainment has partnered with Warner Bros. to provide comic shops with various MAN OF STEEL promotional posters and bags to get fans geared up for the film’s release.
Also available at comic retail locations is DC Collectibles’ all-new line of 12” MAN OF STEEL statues that capture the film’s characters, Superman, Jor El, Zod and Faora, in stunning, highly-realistic likenesses. The line is already a top seller for DC Collectibles, further demonstrating retailer and fan excitement for MAN OF STEEL.
Continuing the celebration around the film’s release, DC Entertainment has partnered with Random House to bring MAN OF STEEL to libraries across the U.S. on Saturday, June 15. More than 1,000 local libraries will offer visitors buttons, bookmarks and Superman comics.
