| Please join us at the panels below, brought to you by Dark Horse Comics and friends! Please visit https://rosecitycomiccon.com/programming-schedule/ for more panels featuring Dark Horse creators and guidelines for attending panels. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 4:30pm–5:30pm: Spotlight on Mike Mignola (Panel Rm 3) 5:00pm–6:00pm: Peeling Back the Layers–How Colorists and Letterers Make Comics Magic Happen (Panel Rm 4) It takes a team to bring a comic book to life, and that team extends beyond the writer and artist. Colorists and letterers are often the magicians behind the curtains whose finishing touches are what breathes life into the finished product. A colorist adds depth, tone, and dimension to the story unfolding on the page, while a letterer guides the reader smoothly through the story. Dark Horse would like to peel back the layers on the work of comics’ unsung heroes and celebrate their contributions to our beloved art form. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 11:00am–12:00pm: Thirty Years of Dark Horse Manga (Panel Rm 4) 2018 marks Dark Horse’s 30th anniversary of publishing manga! From last year’s Eisner-nominated Wandering Island, to legendary series Lone Wolf and Cub, Berserk, Blade of the Immortal, Astroboy, and Oh My Goddess!, to contemporary titles such as I Am a Hero, Fate/Zero, Danganronpa, Drifters, and Hatsune Miku, we’re proud to release a wide spectrum of works from Japanese creators.
