GalaxyCon Columbus is my next convention appearance. I’m excited to return to one of the best events in the country. Let’s get right to the details.
GalaxyCon Columbus takes place Friday through Sunday, December 6-8, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, 400 North High Street. The Exhibition Hall hours are Friday (2-8 pm), Saturday 10 am to 8 pm) and Sunday 10 am to 6 pm. There are after hours events on Friday and Saturday to 2 am and Sunday to 8 pm. That’s a lot of fun over the three days of the convention.
I’ll be at the convention all three days. You can mostly find me at my booth. I’ll be selling an exclusive Misty Knight comic book at $10 per issue. I’ll also be selling an absolutely lovely Tigra print by Jay E. Fife at $30 per print. I might also have a few trades reprinting my work on sale at cover price. I will sign any item you buy from me for free. My signature on any other action figures, books and comics are $10 per item. At this writing, I don’t know my booth number, but you can find me by looking for my standing banner. As always, I’m looking forward to meeting and chatting with my friends and readers.
If you are an artist, editor or publisher who’d like to discuss doing a project with me, we can arrange a time during GalaxyCon to do that. If you want to do an interview or podcast with me, well, let’s say you have to catch me at a good time and have a very good sales pitch. I’m burnt out on the interviews and such.
I’m scheduled to do one panel during the convention. On Sunday, December 8, from 3:15-4 pm in Panel Room 1, I’ll be talking “Team Books in Comics” with Gavin Smith and Steve Orlando. You’ll probably have spent all your money by then, so you should come to the panel.
The guest list for GalaxyCon Columbus is phonomenal. I seldom get the chance to meet and talk with any of them, bu, if I did, top on my list would be “Weird Al” Yankovic. Some other guest notables include George Takei, Ernie Hundson, Danny Trejo, a bunch of cast members from Psyche, Utkarsh Ambudkar from Ghosts, Barry Bostwick and William Katt. And those are but a fraction of the celebrity guests at this show.
There will be lots of voice actors, literary & industry guests, pro wrestlers, podcasters, gaming guests, pro cosplayers, tattoo artists, fan groups and a couple of authentication companies. I’m seeing something for everyone.
The comics creators guest list is wondrous. Mark Bagley, Brian Stelfreeze, Tom Grummet, Jim Cheung, Bill Morrison, Howard Chaykin, Bob Hall, John Beatty, Cully Hammer, Steve Orlando, Ralph Macchio, Terry Kavanagh, Dan Parent, John Jackson Miller, Tana Ford, Thom Zahler, Steve Horton and more. I don’t know how many of them I’ll get to chat with, but I’m hoping it’s most of them.
GalaxyCon Columbus is a fantastic way to end my 2024 convention season. I want to thank the promoters for inviting me and all of you who come to visit me at my booth.
I’ll be back soon with more stuff.
