So Cal Comics is excited to announce its participation in the nationally popular one-day event designed to stimulate business for comic book retailers and publishers, Free Comic Book Day. This event will occur on Saturday, May 20, 2023, at the massive outdoor arena of Southern California Comics. "We're going all out this year," says owner Jamie Newbold. "We'll be handing out thousands of free comic books to everyone and anyone who comes to our event. It's a great opportunity to rediscover the love for your favorite childhood hobby." 2023 marks the 21st year of the event and the 25th anniversary of the opening of Southern California Comics. We will celebrate the anniversary with limited edition store shirts and tote bags, available starting on Free Comic Book Day. Previous shows have attracted as many as 1500 people. This year we have 24 vendors of hot collectibles and local comic creators sharing their original creations. So Cal Comics has an impressive guest list of local art talent, but the Tour de Force is the seminal arrangement to have over one million dollars worth of comic books on display in one glass case. Actual copies of Action Comics 1-10 will be on display, which is a great photo opp moment because of San Diego's comic heritage. "This is a great photo opp for the press," says Newbold. "These books are rarely seen in public for their scarcity." The event is family-friendly and will be held outdoors. Cosplay is encouraged! Visitors will be treated to a kaleidoscope of incredible collectibles, from comic books to Barbie dolls. "We have experts on hand to talk about comic books and comic collecting in San Diego," says Newbold. "It's a great opportunity to learn about the history of comics and the industry as a whole." Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind event! So Cal Comics invites you to join them on May 20 to celebrate comic books and the love for this timeless hobby.

From the organizers: Glüme was born & raised in Los Angeles underneath the Hollywood sign. As a child actor, dancer, & singer, she got her start early on Broadway at the age of 6. She grew up leading a life fit for a film; full of magic & tragedy. After being diagnosed with Prinzmetal disease, she found a lane of her own while recording music at home. As a solo artist, she is happy to be here telling her stories & making art that she hopes can help people find their way over the rainbow. Her sophomore album is out on Valentine's Day 2023 featuring collaborations with Rufus Wainwright, Sean Ono Lennon, STRFKR, Of Montreal, & Johnny Jewel. Twin Ritual is influenced by Synth-pop, Post- Punk and Indie. They deliver upbeat drums, swirling synths, pulsing bass, driving guitar hooks, and dreamy female vocals, the band’s members include Laura Levenhagen (vocals/synth), Anthony Ramirez of Glass Spells (bass/synths), Antonio Estrada (guitar), Michael Buehl (drums). "There is an easy comparison to artists such as Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and most certainly All About Eve with the band’s strong female lead, but Twin Ritual’s sound is more power-pop driven than their predecessors, with hints of The Killers, Interpol, and Editors snuck in there." - Post-Punk.com This is a 21+ event
