The International Comic-Con is less than two weeks away, and it's so overwhelming these days that you really have to plan your strategy ahead of time for autograph signings. Hopefully the information posted here should help you out.

 

Located upstairs in the Sails Pavilion, the Autograph Area is the place to go for a special memento from a variety of artists, authors, and actors from every era of popular culture. Some are signing right after their spotlight panel, so check the program grid daily.

 

Fans interested in attending signings should review the schedules posted, then plan to visit the Sails Pavilion at the time of each drawing. All fans present at the appointed time will receive numbered tickets that feature a distinct sticker. Then a randomized drawing will determine which fans receive wristbands granting access to each autograph line.
