Kirk, T. J. Hooker in the 80’s and tough as nails, tender as cotton lawyer, Denny Crane.

Image Comics, the publisher of huge hits like The Walking Dead will also be exhibiting for the first time with more guest and content announcements promised in the coming weeks.
Our promise is always Bigger, Better & Crazier than Ever. With the overwhelming support of both our industry partners and the fan community, whether they are artists, exhibitors, sponsors or fans, people feel that they have a stake in this event and the platform it provides,” he added, “and it’s that enthusiasm which is driving the growth of the event.”
