WonderCon, the bay area

WonderCon is the bay area's largest comicbook and pop culture extravaganza. Located at the Moscone West building, the show brings together professionals and fans of all things pop culture. The event draws more than 18,500 attendees each year. WonderCon continues its tradition of shining the spotlight on some of the best and brightest comics talent, with one of the leading architects of the fabled EC Comics line, a newspaper strip superstar, the creator of one of the most popular indie comics, and seven major talents from the world of mainstream comics, plus the return of the world's fastest cartoonist.

Coming off its biggest and most successful year ever, WonderCon is gearing up for its 23rd year as a Bay area tradition. The comics and popular arts convention returns to Moscone Center South for another three-day weekend run on February 27 through March 1. More than 29,000 people attended the show in 2008, and 2009 promises to be another incredible convention experience for fans from all over.

Details are still being worked out, but you can count on a few WonderCon mainstays: a huge Exhibit Hall filled with some of the coolest stuff in the world; a large and comprehensive programming schedule featuring presentations from the very best in comics (including the Comics Arts Conference for a second year in San Francisco) and from Hollywood movie studios and TV networks; gaming; anime screenings; and special nighttime events such as the WonderCon Masquerade in its fifth year, plus much, much more (including a very popular Comic-Con 2008 "musical" event that will be a crowd-pleasing end in San Francisco, too).

Special guests include Sergio Aragones, Brian Azzarello, Ed Brubaker, Mark Evanier, Matt Fraction, Gary Friedrich, Dave Johnson, Jim Lee, Aaron Lopresti, Wendy Pini, Trina Robbins, Alex Robinson, James Robinson, Stan Sakai, Roy Thomas and Jill Thompson.
