With Hero-exclusive special guests, 3DplusMe promos, new Overstreet and more!
Hold on to your hats, because Hero Initiative, the charitable organization dedicated to helping veteran comic creators in medical or financial need, is breezing into Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago August 21-24th at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. We have special guests, exclusives, and specials throughout the weekend at booth #128 that you will not want to miss!
Hero is bringing its OWN exclusive guests to Chicago! Dick Tracy artist Jim Brozman will be at the Hero booth pretty much all day Thursday and Friday, while Simone and Ajax and Fables artist Andrew Pepoy will be at the booth Friday and Saturday. Tomorrow Stories artist Hilary Barta will make a special appearance Saturday only from 1-5 p.m. This crew will be at the Hero booth ONLY, so don’t miss out!
Hero will also have a limited amount of the Hero-exclusive Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #44 in Chicago! This year’s cover features the Hulk and Wendigo as illustrated by penciler Herb Trimpe, inker Tom Palmer, and colorist Laura Martin. Copies are available at the standard hardcover price of $35, but the book has been moving FAST! Don’t miss out!
Hero will also have $1 specials exclusive to the con! Get Marvel Apes #1 and ACTOR Comics Presents for a mere $1 each, one per customer while supplies last!
And Hero is happy to announce a partnership with 3DplusMe, the first company to introduce mobile 3D face scanning for 3D-printed personalized merchandise! 3DplusMe will be collecting donations for Hero at their booth, #320, and Hero will raffle off two personalized Marvel character models, a $90 to $130 value! You can win a 3d-printed model of YOU as a Marvel superhero!
Hero also gives great big thanks to our creator ambassadors throughout the con floor! Stop by and see Jim Calafiore, Tom Kelly, Mike McKone, Marat Mychaels, Dan Parent and Arthur Suydam, all of whom will be raising money for Hero at their own tables!
