Press Release
This spring the Boston Comic Con doubles in size and moves to a much larger venue, the Hynes Convention Center.

And with this line up of comic creators, every extra foot of space is absolutely needed.
Boston Comic Con is thrilled to announce that the April 30-May 1, 2011 show features the best guest list New England has ever seen. Comic fans and collector will not want to miss this amazing opportunity to meet superstar creators including Frank Quitely, Adam Hughes, Darwyn Cooke, Arthur Adams, Frank Cho, Tim Sale, Dave Johnson, and Golden Age legend Joe Kubert! Check out the full guest list below:
Guest for the show include: Joe Kubert; Frank Quitely; Adam Hughes; Darwyn Cooke; Frank Cho; Arthur Adams; Tim Sale; "Reverend" Dave Johnson; J.G. Jones;
Matt Wagner; Ryan Ottley; Tony Harris; Stan Sakai; Terry Moore; Sean "Cheeks" Galloway; Howard Chaykin; Mark Brooks; Stephane Roux; Khoi Pham; David Mack; and Mark Chiarello.
Boston Comic Con is happy to announce that Chiarello will once again conduct a limited number of portfolio reviews. This is a rare opportunity for artists to show their work to the man in charge of the look of the DC Universe. Last year he met with dozens of local artists and found at least one to bring into the DC fold.
Tickets go on sale November 15, 2010 and will be available online through the convention website. Prices are $20 for a single day pass and $35 for a weekend pass.
