Next Week’s Featured Event

Ladies’ Night at Strange Adventures in Halifax

After hours on Leap Day, Strange Adventures will be hosting an exclusive, ladies only event featuring cupcakes, discounts, trivia, and prizes!

Faith Erin Hicks (Friends with Boys, The War at Ellsmere) and Jordyn Bochon (Spera) will be on hand for signings, and Tumblr’s own comic star Kate Leth will be there working her usual retail gig (but I’m sure she’ll be happy to sign her Locke & Key appearances and other merch!)

On Facebook, 119 ladies have already RSVP’d, how can you miss such a party?  At the very least, go to piss off this guy.  And bring your comics-curious friends!

I went on Tumblr to send LadiesMakingComics a message about Ladies’ Night… Turns out, they already posted about it and I missed it like a dummy!

We’re all real stoked about this one. I just finished working on the gift bags for grownups and am now moving on to the all-ages ones. There will be cupcakes and Batwoman cookies, and I have some prints of my own to give away (if anybody’s interested).

Excite!
