Dynamite's fourth New York Comic Con announcement is all about what they'll be doing at the con. The publisher is set up at booth #1829 and has a slew of guests, giveaways and will be celebrating Red Sonja's 45th anniversary. That will also be the main focus of their panel on Saturday morning. Here are all the details you might need starting with the panel description, signing times, NYCC exclusives and NYCC giveaways.

DYNAMITE PRESENTS: 45-YEARS OF SEEING RED: CELEBRATE RED SONJA'S HISTORY AND HER BATTLE FOR FEMALE EMPOWERMENT IN COMICS!
Saturday, 10/7/16, 11:00am – 12:00pm
Location: Room 1A02

Robert E. Howard's She-Devil with a Sword, the classic sorcery heroine Red Sonja, made her comic book debut in 1973's Conan the Barbarian #23 by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith, before evolving into the archetypical example of the duality between femininity and fierceness that she is today. Join iconic creators Amy Chu, Gail Simone, Louise Simonson, Erik Mona, Larry Hama and more, as they dissect Red Sonja's more than four-decade history and trailblazing impact on strong female characters in comics. *Guest subject to change.

• Amy Chu (Writer, Red Sonja)
