Join us as graphic novelist, Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez presents his latest work! The critically acclaimed comic book, La Borinqueña. This comic was independently published via his studio, Somos Arte. Miranda-Rodriguez is also a writer for Marvel Comics and Editor-in-Chief of Darryl Makes Comics.

“La Borinqueña” is the first, modern-day comic book superhero that exemplifies the patriotic symbolism, history, and mysticism found on the island of Puerto Rico. She gains superhuman strength, the power of flight, and control of the storms from Atabex, the Taino mother goddess and her sons.

The Meet the Author Series is a free program offered by the Julia de Burgos Gift Shop one Saturday a month from January to November. Enjoy an afternoon of engaging dialogue with writers of different literary disciplines followed by a book signing. Copies of the work will be available for purchase.
