Dragon*Con Comics and Pop Art is a celebration of the visual arts, committed to presenting some of the most uniquely talented and exciting creators in the world of comic books, illustration, and toy design. With a stellar lineup of attending artists, writers, publishers, and galleries, as well as a diverse mix of panels, presentations and special events, Comics and Pop Art gives Dragon*Con an opportunity to cultivate a true community of pop art enthusiasts on both sides of the table.

Dragon*Con 2010 sees the introduction of two new Comics and Pop Art directors, to help ensure the continued growth of what has become one of the most vital and enjoyable venues in the pop art world:
 
Comic book writer Sean Taylor steps in as Director of Comics and Pop Art programming, working closely with fans and pros alike to deliver more of the one-of-a-kind panels and presentations that Dragon*Con attendees have come to expect. Sean’s name will be familiar to Comics and Pop Art attendees as a regular moderator of panels at both D*C and its sister event, Atlanta Comics Expo.

Atlanta artist Jesse Hamrick joins us as Director of Comics and Pop Artists Alley, lending his support to our continued goal of providing a fan-friendly, fun and memorable artist alley for our visiting creators and attendees.  Jesse is a warm and engaging gent, with an impressive list of gallery events and openings to his name.

Confirmed so far to appear at this summer’s show are:  Doktor A., Mike McKone, Mike Mignola, George Perez.

We are constantly developing the guest and programming roster, so please check back regularly for continued updates. There will be parties, exclusive releases, signings, art exhibits, the ever-popular Comics and Pop Art Reception, an original comics art exhibit (details coming soon) and much, much more.

For questions or comments regarding Dragon*Con Comics and Pop Art, contact us via email.

2010 Dragon*Con Exclusives

The Dragon*Con Comics and Pop Art Reception will be taking place again this year, on Friday evening, September 3. Traditionally this is where we debut Dragon*Con exclusives, and we have no plans to let you down in 2010.

In cooperation with our guest creators, the reception will mark the debut of a limited number of exclusive releases from a variety of featured artists. And you need not worry about camping out all day to be the first in line!

On Friday, September 3, convention attendees will have the opportunity to pick up a numbered ticket, to be entered into a drawing for an opportunity to purchase desired exclusives (entering is free of charge with your paid Dragon*Con membership). Before the reception doors open to the public, numbers will be drawn (according to the quantity of each specific exclusive available that evening) and posted inside the reception hall. If your number is posted, you will have the opportunity to purchase that exclusive.

Attendees will have the chance to secure one ticket for each participating artist's release - if your number is drawn for more than one artist's release you may purchase each release you hold a winning ticket for.

Please be aware that not all quantities of exclusives will be available at the reception, and you do not need to attend the reception in order to purchase exclusives - each artist will decide the exact number of pieces they wish to make available at the reception and the amount they plan to offer for the rest of the convention. However, if you enter the drawing Friday you WILL need to attend the reception and make your purchase(s) that evening - tickets are not transferable and will not be honored after Friday's reception (specific sales hours will be posted well in advance).

We feel that this is the most fair solution for making exclusives available to fans without flippers, scalpers and speculators lining up in advance to secure these items. The reception has become a very exciting and vital part of the Dragon*Con Comics and Pop Art experience, and we hope that this will add yet another fun facet to the event.

Currently, many of our attending pop artists are planning Dragon*Con exclusive releases, and although we can't disclose any specifics, we can tell you that attending fans and collectors will be VERY happy.

We recently spoke with Brandt Peters, who assures us that the fine folks at Circus Posterus are once again raising the bar on show exclusives, and folks should be prepared to be thrilled.

With the likes of Shag, Glenn Barr, Brian Despain, Dan May and Jason Limon also planning Dragon exclusives, this is definitely a show you NEED to attend!

The Comics and Pop Art Reception will feature music, mingling, the "Talkin' Walken" Christopher Walken sound-alike contest, and special announcements regarding 2011's event - plus a few surprises still to be announced.

Please be sure to check back here for updates and further details.
