Our San Diego Comicon schedule

Here’s the official press release about our San Diego Schedule; see you there!

TwoMorrows Publishing will make their lucky 13th consecutive appearance at Comicon International: San Diego from July 25-29, and this year’s slate of panels and signings further builds on their reputation as the industry authority on comics history and creation.
The “TwoMorrows Publishing” panel takes place on Thursday, July 26 at Noon, spotlighting the company that celebrates the art and history of comics through their award-winning magazine and book line. On hand will be publisher and Jack Kirby Collector editor John Morrow, authors George Khoury and Benjamin Holcomb, Modern Masters’ editor Eric Nolen-Weathington, Alter Ego magazine’s Paul Hamerlinck, and Write Now! magazine’s Danny Fingeroth, as they unveil new products and offer exclusive previews of upcoming items, in a multimedia presentation.
One of the most anticipated panels at Comicon this year is the “Image Founders Panel” scheduled for Friday, July 27 at 10:30 am. For the first time, all seven original founders of Image Comics will appear together to discuss the past, present, and future of the company. Moderated by George Khoury (author of TwoMorrows’ new book Image Comics: The Road To Independence), the panel had to be switched to a larger, 1000-seat venue after commitments from Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvestri, and Jim Valentino were confirmed.
Also, Comicon guest of honor Roy Thomas will be spotlighted on three different panels, celebrating his work as top writer and editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, and his TwoMorrows magazine Alter Ego.
On Thursday, July 26, the TwoMorrows booth will host a signing by Charles Vess, the subject of one of their most popular Modern Masters art books. Fan-favorite artist Michael Golden’s new Modern Masters volume will debut at Comicon, and Golden will be on hand to sign copies throughout the weekend. Also, TwoMorrows will debut new books on Silver Age artist John Romita Sr. (written by Roy Thomas and Jim Amash), indy cartoonist Peter Bagge, and new issues of their magazines Alter Ego, Back Issue, Draw!, Write Now, and Rough Stuff. And Rand Hoppe, president of the online Jack Kirby Museum and Research Center (www.kirbymuseum.org) will be at the TwoMorrows booth throughout the convention, outlining the museum’s plans and goals for 2008.
