This year isn’t just about the celebrity eyeball. It’s also about the cool exhibits as well and what better way to showcase Voltes V 40th anniversary than for the show to have its own exclusive exhibit. But that’s not the only icon we’re giving homage to. Stan Lee’s Excelsior Exhibit includes his private collection of vintage comic covers, movie props, rare memorabilia, original artwork, and high-end collectibles. And if you can’t wait for August the Suicide Squad Movie exhibit will have to satisfy your anticipation for now.

But the buck doesn’t stop there as Legendary Graphic/Comic Artist for The Walking Dead and various Marvel titles Arthur Suydam and Award Winning USA Face & Body Artist Sammie Barkto will be on floor with the Zombie and Aliens Zone exhibit! And lets not forget Coolrain and Pat Lee as well!
