Following the success of his appearance earlier this year at San Diego Comic-Con, the legendary illustrator Mitsohuro Arita is now heading to New York Comic Con this week.

Dogu Publishing, an imprint of Dark Horse comics and home to the works of Stan Sakai, will be offering a Meet & Greet opportunity at the convention in partnership with the TikTok Shop, at Booth #1635. Fans will have the opportunity to meet Arita in person to discuss his previous and future work on Usagi Yojimbo, his cover work for Marvel, and more, as well as purchase limited edition merchandise. 

Each Meet & Greet includes an exclusive Event ART CARD. You can choose between the following options:

• Common ART CARD ($500 + tax):  Signed Art Card by Arita, and includes an English signature on one personal item
• Limited ART CARD ($600 + tax): Signed and individually numbered to only 300 pieces. Also includes a Kanji signature on one personal item.

Spots are limited to 30 Meet & Greet opportunities daily from Thursday to Saturday. To attend, there will be a timeslot reservation system, with details still to be announced.

For signed items, please ensure that all items are removed from any wrapping or protective cases prior to lining up. There will be black, silver, and gold pens available. Some items may not be eligible so please bring spare items — you can email pr@dogupublishing.com with questions.
