Dragon Con Comics & Pop Art

Comic & Pop Artist Alley offers an eclectic array of creators from comic, animation, pop surrealism, lowbrow, and art toy design. Attendees have the opportunity to meet their favorite creators, get autographs, purchase comic and art, and attend fan panels over the course of four fantastic days. We’re also offering several “how to draw” workshops for both kids and adults, as well as a ton of other engaging material you won’t want to miss.

Dragon Con Comics & Pop Art returns to the Americas Mart (Building 2), bigger and better than ever – conveniently located on the 4th floor of the AmericasMart in close proximity to the hundreds of exciting vendors in the Dragon Con Vendor Hall.

We are currently working on the C&PA guest list, so keep checking back here for all the great talent coming out this year!

We’re looking forward to spending Labor Day weekend enjoying the best that Comics and Pop Art has to offer, with all of you!

Comics Programming Fast Track

This year, Comic and Pop Artist Alley is excited to bring back the “Comics Programming Fast Track,” giving a limited number of comic fans the ability to receive Fast Track entry into AmericasMart Building 2 up to thirty minutes before the panel begins. To take advantage of the program, you must sign up for a special QR code for each specific panel you would like to attend. Once completed, you will receive an email confirmation with tickets and a QR code for each individual panel. You will also have the ability at the end of selecting your panels to send the QR code to your mobile device.

Make sure you save the QR code(s) to gain admittance into AmericasMart Building 2. You will show it to a volunteer in the front of the building just to the left of the main line. DO NOT wait in the regular line. Instead, go directly to the front door and present your QR code to the Fast Track volunteer, who will admit you to the building.

*Please note that you are allowed one ticket per each panel in the thirty-minute window. If you have multiple people who want to attend the same panel, each must sign up for their own ticket and present their individual QR code at the door. Also note that each QR code can only be used one time.

So swing on over to our sign-up page and select your panels now!

Notes about the Fast Pass sign-up.

After clicking on the Fast Pass link, you will be taken to the list of Comics Panels happening in the AmericasMart during Dragon Con 2024. Scroll through and select any that you like by clicking on the drop box and selecting “1”. Keep in mind that only one person can sign up per panel. So if you have family and friends that want to attend the same panel, please make sure to have them sign up as well.

Once you have selected the panels you would like to attend, scroll to the bottom of the page and hit Next. This will take you to the “billing” page.  Don’t freak out. We are not charging for these panels. It is a limitation of the software to collect “billing” info, but you will not have to enter a credit card number.  Again, all of these panels are free of charge.

Please fill out the required information and hit Next at the bottom of the page. You will then be directed to the check-out screen. You do have the ability to edit your cart at this point if you want to add or remove a panel. Please note that the billed amount is $0.00.

After you are satisfied with selections, click the left side of the Agree box (which will turn green when checked), check the reCAPTCHA  box and click Submit.

You now have the option to print the tickets, or send them to your phone. Click on the “Complete Order Ticket Options” for a drop box of choices. If you have any questions, please contact jameyreeves@dragoncon.org.
