Amazing Guest List Highlights WonderCon 2010!

An amazing roster of special guests from the worlds of comics and science fiction/fantasy will be a major highlight for fans at WonderCon 2010. The popular show -- one of the country's best comics conventions -- moves to April 2-4 at Moscone Center South in San Francisco. WonderCon 2010 offers the perfect spring break getaway over the long Easter holiday weekend. And it's made even better with the special WonderCon rate at our headquarters hotel, the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. Book a room at this fabulous hotel -- located just a short walk from Moscone Center South -- at the super low rate of only $109/night (single/double occupancy; click here for details).

The guest list includes comics legends Murphy Anderson, Sergio Aragonés, and Joe Kubert, along with some of the superstars of today's most popular comics: Frank Cho, Amanda Conner, Darwyn Cooke, Colleen Doran, David Finch, Adam Hughes, Geoff Johns, Robert Kirkman, Adam Kubert, Steve McNiven, Jimmy Palmiotti, Greg Rucka, Gail Simone, Kevin Smith, Ethan Van Sciver, and Judd Winick. In addition, science fiction/fantasy authors Peter S. Beagle and Tim Powers join the event, along with WonderCon moderator supreme -- and comics historian and writer -- Mark Evanier. As a special bonus, pop culture icon Stan Freberg and his wife, Hunter, are scheduled for the show, marking their first WonderCon appearance. (For more information on all of the special guests who have confirmed to-date, please click here.)

WonderCon features a complete comics convention experience, including a giant Exhibit Hall with one of the best Artists' Alleys in the country, plus autograph, small press, and fan table areas. Companies from all over converge on San Francisco to be a part of this show, including such major comic publishers as DC Comics, Dark Horse, IDW, Image, and Oni Press, plus dealers selling comic books, original art, books, movie memorabilia, action figures, and much more. Programming features spotlights on all WonderCon's special guests, plus comic publisher presentations, movie and TV panels and previews, and other panels on a wide range of comics and pop culture topics. Saturday night's Masquerade is growing to Comic-Con size, and anime and games are offered throughout the weekend, with an additional game room and a con hospitality suite added at our headquarters hotel, the San Francisco Marriott Marquis.

WonderCon 2009 saw another increase in attendance, growing to 34,000 attendees. The event still has the intimate feeling of a fan-run comics convention. 2010 is shaping up to be another big year for WonderCon. Be a part of the Wonder in 2010, as Northern California's premiere comics and popular arts event moves to a prime spot during Spring Break on Easter weekend!
