Emerald City ComicCon Coming To Seattle this Weekend

 Emerald City ComicConis the largest comic book and pop culture convention in the Pacific Northwest.

There will be nearly 300 exhibitors,  and over 300 artists in the Artists’ Alley.  In addition, there will be a couple hundred special guests – artists who draw well-known comics, and others in the comic field, as well as people like Clayton “Clay” Alexander, one of the crewmen on the ISS Expedition 15 team.  There will also be several “Voice Talent” folks, like Jim Cummings – the voice of Winnie the Pooh and Kevin Michael Richardson – the voice of Maurice on The Penguins of Madagascar.

ECCC

2013 Show Hours   

March 1 - 2:00PM to 8:00PM

March 2 - 10:00AM to 7:00PM

March 3 - 10:00AM to 5:00PM

 

Then there are about twenty “Celebrity Guests”.  Among them are people  you may recognize, such as Gillian Anderson, from The X Files;  Dirk Benedict, of The A Team, and Battlestar Galactica; Carrie Fisher – Princess Leia of Star Wars; Christopher Lloyd from Back to the Future;  and both Adam West and Burt Ward from the original television Batman.  We plan, my daughter and I, to get our picture taken with Sir Patrick Steward, known not only as a great Elizabethan actor, but as Jean Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

All this will be taking place at the Washington State Convention Center  in downtown Seattle.

 2/27/13 - Update - notice came out late yesterday that Carrie Fisher will NOT be able to attend due to health problems.

Steven,

My oldest already has his tickets.  This has become a favorite event in our household for him and his friends, but PAX is still bigger. Good announcement of a popular event.  Have a great time.

One of these days I will have to take my boys to a Comic COn just for the heck of it. Just like most kids (boys anyway) they like the comics and cartoons.

Dan -- thank you for stopping by and commenting.  Good to know there are supportive parents around.

Than -- Looks like the closest one for you would be the one in Dallas.  You might want to check some images on line to determine age appropriateness before taking your boys to one.

I thought Emerald City had something to do with Oz, since there is a new Oz movie coming out, LOL!

Sharon -- Seattle has claimed title "Emerald City" for many years - based on number of trees in and around it.  I had a friend who wasn't from the area, and we were 17 miles east of town, still in heavily forested hills, and he was wondering how much further it was to town (since he didn't know the mileage marker system) -- and was really surprised when we went round corner and could see some of the buildings, but there were still hills covered with trees between us and the city.
