Twenty top comic creators will sign comics, sketch and interact with fans of all ages on Saturday May 3.

Stuart is a well-known artist currently working on All New X-Men for Marvel Comics while Kathryn is a writer known for her work on Journey into Mystery, Avengers Vs. X-Men, Wolverine and Jubilee and many more titles for Marvel Comics.

With a focus on writers, artists and colorists who have done work for every major publisher in the country, ACME offers something for everyone, and it’s all for free. A one day mini-convention for the fans. A representative from Bookmans Mesa will be on-site with geeking out swag, giveaways and invites to upcoming events.
