There will be several panels on the creation of comic books where you’ll be able to ask our guests questions and hear about their experiences through the entire process. From that original spark of an idea to the script and art to finding a publisher, printing and distribution all the way to seeing the final product sitting on the shelf at the local comic shop. A full panel schedule will be posted once we have it finalized.
Pre-Screening
There will be a prescreening of the Pit and the Pendulum, a stop-motion animated adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's classic short story from Ray Harryhausen Presents.
After Party
