Miranda

Miranda grew up hearing that “comics were for boys” so naturally she saved up her babysitting money to buy her first graphic novel, The Long Halloween, without parental approval. Classic Harley Quinn fan, horror junkie, and magical girl fanatic; she put this bio up when no one else was looking.

She can be found at the U Street store.
