THE GREAT ESCAPE presents its
first “KIDS OF ALL AGES” DAY
FREE STUFF, ENTERTAINING &
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS and a SENSATIONAL COMIC BOOK SALE
SAT, 11/17 at
THE GREAT ESCAPE CHARLOTTE AVE. 5400 Charlotte Ave. 9
a.m. - 9 p.m.
Our
SENSATIONAL COMIC BOOK SALE begins when doors open at
9 a.m. (1 hour early) with a great selection of comic books marked down to
$1 each (previously priced from $2.99-$9.99). These issues
(never before discounted) include a
variety of titles, including superheroes,
action/adventure series and titles appropriate for younger
children, including Disney, Warner Brothers
characters, Archie, etc.
....................................
At 10 a.m. comic book writer/editor
Jason Miller presents “CONSTRUCTING
COMICS: HOW COMICS ARE
MADE, FROM SENTENCE TO SMASH”- an engaging discussion about the history of comic books, how
scripts get written, and how a comic book
page is brought together in its many layers (script, roughs, pencils, ink, colors, balloons, etc.). Get a
sense of how these comic strips and books
are actually made! Following this program, Miller will sign free copies of his comic
book “Intrinsic #1” for fans age 12 & up. (He is the creator of Intrinsic’s main character,
Ishmael Stone.) Everyone attending
the program gets a free grab bag containing 3
age-appropriate
comics (“Scooby Doo”, “Superman
Family” & “Spiderman” are examples of what may be included in grab bags).
....................................
At 12:30 p.m., the
comic book sale shuts down temporarily to prepare for the videotaping of a program by
GUY GILCHRIST, artist for the daily newspaper strip
“Nancy”. (Previously
Gilchrist did the art work for the daily strip “Jim Henson’s
Muppets”.)
Following a workshop of free drawing lessons for aspiring comic
artists (attendees should bring paper and
pencils), Gilchrist will do a question-and-answer segment. This is a highly
entertaining program and we strongly recommend that you
attend- whether you’re
interested in learning to draw comics or not. Attendees for this workshop will also receive a free grab
bag of age-appropriate comic books. After the program is finished, Gilchrist will be available at
approximately 3 p.m. to critique portfolios and do individual
sketches of Nancy & Sluggo, Big
Bird, Kermit The Frog, etc.
....................................
The $1 Comic Book sale resumes
at 3 p.m. and continues until closing time (9 p.m.).
ADMISSION TO BOTH THE
JASON MILLER AND GUY GILCHRIST PROGRAMS IS FREE- and attendees get a total of up to 6 free comic
books by attending both programs.
In addition, everybody that attends The Great Escape’s
“Kids Of All Ages Day” gets a free $1 Gift Certificate to apply against
purchases in the store (and yes, we have lots of items offered for $1 or less). Plus, additional gift
certificates of varying amounts will be awarded in
drawings that will be held hourly
throughout the day.

Miller Programs; to reserve a seat, simply reply to
