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.
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.
