IDW Publishing will be celebrating comics all weekend long in New York Comic Con’s awe-inspiring Artist Alley from October 12 through October 15 with creator signings, live sketching, portfolio reviews, exclusive variant covers, giveaways, and more.
When fans enter Artist Alley, IDW Publishing will be front and center. Located at booth #HB905, aspiring comic book creators interested in portfolio reviews will need to drop off their portfolios for consideration on Friday, October 13 between 10am and 4pm for consideration. Selected submissions will be notified via text for an editorial appointment time on Saturday 10/15.
Love watching artists breathe life into a blank page? Live drawings will occur throughout the show featuring TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman, Hayden Sherman (DARK SPACES: DUNGEON), Ben Bishop and the Escorza Brothers (TMNT: THE LAST RONIN II – RE-EVOLUTION), Alan Robert (THE BEAUTY OF HORROR), and a special surprise guest. All work will be contributed to the charity Comic Books for Kids.
Want to meet some brilliant creators? IDW’s packed signing schedule is provided below, and there will even be a few surprises at the show, so be sure to keep an eye on IDW’s social media for updates.
