On the fourth day of Christmas, your GoCollect gave to you: Aegis Comics of Alaska and an exclusive variant giveaway!

As part of our 12 Days of Giveaways, AEGIS Comics of Alaska has sponsored today's giveaway! So far, you have had the opportunity to win some great pieces and today is no different! Let's learn a little more about AEGIS first.

 

Who is AEGIS Comics of Alaska?

They are a veteran-owned business and one of only three comic book shops located in Alaska.  Their shop is a safe environment for collectors of all ages to come and enjoy this awesome hobby. However, it is located in Alaska, and that might be a bit far for an afternoon stop at an LCS. So, for those that can’t make it to the shop, they have a web store and provide entertaining content via their YouTube channel, Instagram, Facebook, and Podcasts.

Currently, AEGIS Comics of Alaska is raising funds to provide their physically disabled customers access to their shop via our Patreon and GoFundMe accounts. If you want to support their cause you can check out their Patreon here or their GoFundMe here. To see everything else that they have going on you can check out their website here.

 

What is the Giveaway

As for the giveaway that they are sponsoring, AEGIS will be giving away 2 Personalized Variant Comics. They are a set of their retailer-exclusive variant covers! They are custom covers by John Royle and are the first-ever variant covers by Dynamite for an Alaskan comic book shop. 

Red Sonja is a comic series that was originally created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith for Marvel Comics in 1973. Dynamite took over production in 2005. The original Sonja dies in issue #34. The storyline continues with a "reincarnation". An altered version of Red Sonja's early life story is told via flashbacks by writer Gail Simone in 2013. Then, in 2017, Amy Chu began writing the series.

Red Sonja may be familiar to some as she has appeared in numerous editions both solo and together with Conan, as well as in some Marvel comics crossovers. In 1985, a feature film starring Brigitte Nielsen in the title role, Red Sonja, was released. There have also been television and animated adaptions. Have you seen any of them? Let us know in the comments!
