This weekend's Wizard World Austin Comic Con will be a three-day celebration of comic books, science fiction, and pop culture in general. There will be panel discussions, Q&As with artists, actors, and writers, and special appearances by myriad celebrities, including Stan Lee, William Shatner, cast members of Firefly and The Walking Dead, and many, many more.
The con will also feature several local artists, who will display and sell their artworks. Cartoonist Will Rodriguez, of the online and self-published comic Mangled Stare, will be there, pen in hand, sketching convention goers and displaying his wares.
Collage artist Mike Alcantara will have a couple of large-scale pieces at the con. He uses comic books as a theme and as a medium; his collages are created using only old comic books, with no paint or markers added. His large-scale collage based on Action Comics #1 will be on display at the con's "Artist Alley."
