Karen Hallion San Diego Comic-Con 2026 Exclusives [UPDATE May 18]

Artist Karen Hallion is making her way back to San Diego Comic-Con, and if you’ve ever wandered through Artist Alley, you’ve probably spotted her booth (and the fans crowded around it). She’s the artist behind “The She Series,” a fan-favorite collection that combines her signature style with words or short phrases — memorializing iconic women across both history and pop culture for the values they uphold. Over the years, that series has grown to also include the men of pop culture as well (when worthy, anyway!).

But even beyond that, her table is basically a danger zone for your wallet. It’s stacked with pins, prints, stickers, and more from your favorite fandoms that you won’t be able to resist. Whatever she’s cooking up this year, expect it to be fun, a little unexpected, and very easy to justify buying “just one more thing” at booth #BB-16.

[UPDATE May 18]

Each year, Karen creates a series of exclusive pins for San Diego Comic-Con, typically with one releasing each day of the convention.

This year, she has five new pins:

Wednesday, July 22 — Boldy Go Enamel Pin ($15)

Thursday, July 23 — Game On Enamel Pin ($15)
A West Wing inspired pin that celebrates one of Stockard Channing’s best moments on the series (and that’s saying something).

Friday, July 24 — Please Forgive Me Enamel Pin ($15)
Features the Ho’oponopono Hawaiian Forgiveness Prayer that’s been popularized recently by finest at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.
