Jersey Shore Comic Book Show Features Local Artists

The Jersey Shore Comic Book Show will take over the Toms River Elks Lodge on Washington Street on Sunday the 20th. Fans can meet star guests along with over 20 artists, writers and creators of comics. There will be more than 40 vendors with comics from the Golden Age to modern, non-sports cards, toys, anime, crafts, graphic novels, collectibles and much more.

A Southern Regional student is among the local artists, and will be the youngest person with their own booth at the show. Mackenzie Rose Hawk (who has an awesome last name) is just 14 and specializes in My Little Pony art. Mackenzie transforms pop culture icons like Batman and the Joker into Ponies, and has even done a tribute to fellow South Jerseyian and star of the Netflix hit "Stranger Things" Gaten Matazzaro.

The show is also holding a Toys For Tots drive. Fans can get $2 off admission by bringing a toy.

General Admission is $5, Seniors are $3, and Kids Under 12 are Free.
