Just how much SDCC news do you want in a day? You want it all, of course, and we’re here to give it to you (as much as we can, anyway). This edition of Under the Tents has some cool SDCC news from the California Browncoats, Gentle Giant, Monkey Minion Press, and even free stuff from Hanging Chad Entertainment.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Artist Jessica Chrysler feels Eartha Kitt was the purrfect Catwoman, and it’s difficult to argue that. You can discuss Catwomen when you visit Chrysler to pick up one of her sketch covers honoring the amazing performer in one of her signature roles.

- Graphic artist Dan Bois just received the new vinyl stickers he’s planning to bring with him to SDCC 2019, and judging by the looks of them, they’ll go fast.

- Were you able to score one of Gentle Giant’s Star Wars: Rebels Hera figure? If not, don’t panic (hey, that would look good on a book). They’re bringing limited quantities with them to their booth at SDCC. Get there early; this figure is sure to go fast.
