WonderCon is fast approaching, and each day we’re learning more and more of what you can expect to find at the convention. Today, we’ve got updates on which cast members of Dark Phoenix will be in attendance, how to score autographs from the writer of The Last Unicorn and more, and even how to get a commission from Neal Adams.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- Wunderkind Ethan Castillo has shared that he will have at least one Batman blank cover for sale at his table at WonderCon. You can find it and all of Ethan’s work at Artist Alley Table #A-54.
