ABOUT THE GUEST
Ashton Greenwood is the Associate Marketing Manager for Diamond Comic Distributors, handling PR, advertising opportunities, social media, and, of course, Free Comic Book Day and Halloween ComicFest. Also known as the Duchess of Free Comic Book Day, she can often be found hyping up those free comics on social media and probably obsessing over whatever title Archie is offering.
