We want to help spread the word that comics are alive and well in 2013. The Comic Book industry has propelled to the front ranks of pop culture with many books being adapted into movies: Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, Batman and Superman. This year is doubly exciting because the upcoming Iron Man 3 opens the weekend of Free Comic Book Day.

 

In conjunction with this celebration, local Tuacahn teachers and co-authors, Christy Hall and Amanda Gerry will be here signing their newest, young adult fantasy novel of the Shardwell series. Come see the custom painted, Marvel themed, Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Maverik will be here with drinks, hot dogs, other refreshments and giveaways. Bring the kids by to have a picture taken with Iron Man and some of their other favorite costumed personalities: Captain America, Catwoman, Spider-man & Supergirl. Plus, there will be a BIG store sale, Iron Man 3 movie ticket giveaways, games, costume contests, free comics and more!
