I will be a guest for some (not all) of this year's San Diego Comic Fest. What this is is a low-key convention that recaptures some of the magic of the early days of what we now know as Comic-Con International…back when it was mostly about comic books and nowhere near as crowded. It's run by some of the folks who worked on the early cons in San Diego, though it is in no way affiliated with that huge gathering.
The San Diego Comic Fest has an opening night ceremony on Friday, February 17 and then it's open Saturday through Monday, February 18-20. I should be there most of Saturday and Sunday, primarily hosting or appearing on panels about a man named Jack Kirby. 2017 is the 100th anniversary of Jack's birth and a lot of comic conventions this year will be featuring special events and tributes in his honor. You can find out all about this one at the San Diego Comic Fest website. They have some other terrific guests and themes. I'll tell you more about what I'm doing there once the schedule is firmed-up.
My next convention after that will be WonderCon, which takes place March 31-April 2 in the newly-expanded Anaheim Convention Center. Then I have nothing until Comic-Con International in San Diego, which is July 20-23. Later this year though, I expect to be making a couple of rare (for me) appearances at East Coast conventions. I'll be the guest roaming the floor because he has nothing to sell and refuses to sit behind a table all day.
