Comic-Con
This is traditionally a four-day event usually hosted during the summer in San Diego, CA. The event showcases comic books, science fiction/fantasy and film/television since its inception. It has since gone on to include toys, collectible cards, card games, video games, different animation and other fantasy related arts.
A tradition of Comic-Con is the annual Inkpot Award. This is awarded to professionals in the comic book, comic strip, animation, science fiction, and related pop-culture fields as well as to members of Comic-Con’s Board of Directors and convention committee. Last year’s winner was Drew Strawn who is known for his more than 150 movie posters which include all the films in the Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and Star Wars film series.
You will have the chance to meet many of the country’s greatest comic artists along with other industry leaders. This year’s special guest includes Jo Chen, award-winning cover artist for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Runaways. Craft your best costume and take your chance at winning this year’s masquerade contest. Dress up as any of the industries heroes or villains and take home the trophy.
