Stay tuned for Dragon Con Comics & Pop Art 2020 Events closer to the convention.

We are excited to welcome George Pérez back to Dragon Con!  This year, George will offer limited signing hours for two hours each day.  In an effort to help fans by preventing hours in line while wondering if they will make the cut off, we will be utilizing a ticketing system, offering 100 tickets for each two hour session.  Tickets will be handed out at George’s signing booth (B15) an hour before each signing.  The tickets will be marked in increments of 25 per half hour to allow fans the ability to walk around and enjoy the alley versus simply waiting in line.  For example, those holding tickets 1-25 will get in line when the signing begins, tickets 26-50 should arrive a half hour later, and so on, and so forth until the last set.

George will be signing three free items per ticket.  No one may get more than one ticket per day and tickets are only good on the day they are issued. 

George’s signing hours are:

Friday, Aug 30^th – 2:30pm – 4:30pm

Saturday, Aug 31^st – 1:00pm – 3:00pm

Sunday, Sep 1^st – 11:00am – 1:00pm

Monday, Sep 2^nd – 11:00am – 1:00pm

Last year was so popular, we are doing it again! Come spend an hour of laughs as you never what to expect next.

Friday, August 30th @ 8:30pm in Centennial I of the Hyatt
