SDCC news is coming at us fast and furious now. With less than a month to go, announcements are being made by artists, authors, exhibitors, and publishers such as Alex Ross, Lion Forge, Chris Gugliotti, The Behemoth, and more. Read on and find some great SDCC news in our latest Under the Tents column. Oh, by the way, there’s crochet.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Illustrator Joey Spiotto is counting down to San Diego Comic-Con. He announced he will be in Artist Alley at Table #CC-12 with “new book, old books, and a bunch of artwork!”

- Holy crossing franchises, Batman! Chris Gugliotti took familiar Star Wars characters and crossed them with a couple of different franchises. The result? Possibly, a new print for SDCC. We’ll have to see if he brings this with him.

- It wouldn’t be SDCC 2017 without crochet. It seems to be everywhere this year. TurtleBunny Creations are getting ready for the Batman and Harley Quinn movie by bringing their own renderings of the unlikely duo. Find them at Small Press Table #N-13.

- If you ordered an SDCC commission from our good friend, Patrick Ballesteros, you’ll be happy to know he’s hard at work on them. In this one, it looks like he managed to find Waldo and Carmen San Diego. Who would have thought they’d be in San Diego?

- We have a Hooker down! No, not that kind of Hooker. Our good friend, The Geeky Hooker, announced that her hands just aren’t what they used to be. Doctor appointments have caused her to fall behind on her schedule, so she won’t be able to make anymore critters for her SDCC 2017 drops. Have faith, because she is teaming with fellow Hooker Marcy from Moon’s Creations to be able to continue her drops. She’s also placed an open call to anyone who WON’T be at San Diego Comic-Con who is interested in having her do drops on their behalf. Get in touch with her via Twitter or Facebook if you’re interested.
Busted hand = Critter lineup cut short. 🙁 But that doesn't stop me from dropping art for YOU at SDCC! https://t.co/6kbRZwhIQD

Making an open call for any artists who won't be going to #SDCC and want me to to be a drop mule for them!
— Geeky Hooker (@GeekyHooker) June 20, 2017
To be clear, this can be ANYTHING. Drawings, jewelry, stickers, etc. If you've got art you want to share, I'll drop it at #SDCC for you! https://t.co/ejXvr2q7jr

- Gaming company The Behemoth made their SDCC announcement a few weeks ago but didn’t have details yet. Now, they’ve announced they’ll be back at their usual Booth #229 in Exhibit Hall A, but this year, they’re bringing friends (yes, they have friends). This year’s “Behemoth + Friends” booth will include:
- Nightmare Cops – Newgrounds

- Salt & Sanctuary – Ska Studios
- Totally Accurate Battle Simulator – Landfall Games
