Praise Themyscira! It's Wonder Woman Day! And East Side Mags has a TON of great Wonder Woman things in store for you!
We're hosting special guest artist Alexia Veldhuisen, Kubert School Graduate! Alexia Veldhuisen was born and raised in Amsterdam. For many years she worked at Gojoker Strips & Comics, the best comic shop in town. Pursuing her life long dream of becoming a comic book artist, she moved to the US. She is a graduate of the world-renowned comic book program The Kubert School, where she was awarded the Dave Simons Memorial Scholarship for her achievements in inking. Next to comic art, traditional and digital painting, she enjoys coffee, video games and “normal” books. She dreams of telling her own stories and secretly being a master samurai! She'll be knocking out awesome free sketches for customers with the option of upgrading to inks and/or full color for an additional charge - paid directly to her! Alexia will be sketching from 12pm-5pm.
We'll also have FREE tiaras and bracelets available on a first-come, first-served basis! Dress like Wonder Woman - or at least rock the accessories and show your love for the most powerful woman in the DCU!
We're also having a kids costume contest! Come dressed as your favorite character from not only DC Comics but any hero, villain or otherwise and automatically enter into a chance to win an AMC Gift Card AND an East Side Mags gift card!
We've got DOLLAR RAFFLES with 5 amazing Wonder Woman themed prizes too! Each prize perfect for all ages and stages of Wonder Woman fans from lifers to newbies! You don't want to miss these awesome items!
Last, but NEVER EVER least, we'll have an appearance from THE WOMAN HERSELF! Come hang out with the powerful princess Mia Ortiz in character, get your photo taken and enjoy as we regale ourselves in stories of Greek Gods, high adventure and maybe some juicy tidbits about Steve Trevor himself!
