And wait, there's more...

1. Sunday only there will be a costume contest and speaker panels featuring Jim Lee, Mike Mignola, and Eric Powell.

2. Exclusive signed limited edition prints for The Boston Comic Con by Joseph Michael Linsner and Bill Siekiewicz will be available at the show for sale. Get there early before they sell out!

3. BCC T-shirts featuring Eric Powell's The Goon and Mike Mignola's Hellboy will also be available for sale. We are printing only a small supply of these shirts, so get 'em while you can.

The Boston Comic Con is hands down the best comic book show in New England featuring over 21,000 square feet of comic book artists and vendors. The BCC is privately owned and is not affiliated with any other shows or promoters. We are dedicated to delivering the fun, magic, and excitement that's supposed to be a comic con. If you didn't have fun, we didn't do our job!
You won't wanna miss this! See ya in April.
'Nuff Said.

Now, there is a bit of sad news unfortunately. The Comicbook Artists Guild does not have it's own table this year -- however, we're making up for it by hosting an event after the Convention. Come on Saturday afternoon for more information.
