J. Scott Campbell Added to Boston Comic Con

I like that Boston Comic Con is getting to be a bigger and bigger deal. Sure, we're probably a few years away from it reaching the magnitude of New York or San Diego, but at least it's getting big enough to get some big name talent at the show. The current list includes the likes of (deep breath): Neal Adams, Frank Quitely, Joe Kubert, Adam Hughes, Darwyn Cooke, Arthur Adams, Frank Cho, Tim Sale, Dave Johnson, J.G. Jones, Mark Brooks, Mark Chiarello, Matt Wagner, Ryan Ottley, Sean Galloway, Stan Sakai, Stephane Roux, Terry Moore, Tony Harris, Khoi Pham, Howard Chaykin, David Mack, Greg Capullo, Gahan Wilson, Ryan Benjamin, Stephanie Buscema, Daixong Guo and Mark McKenna, among others.

Phew. One more to add to that list is J. Scott Campbell. The man has cut his teeth since the 90s, contributing to Gen 13. Since then, he's worked on tons of stuff, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, GI Joe, Danger Girl and a slew of others.

Tickets are currently available online through the convention website. Prices are $20 for a single day pass and $35 for a weekend pass. Kids 10 and under get in free with paid adult admission (per usual). The convention will be held Saturday April 30th and Sunday May 1st at the Hynes Convention Center, 900 Boylston Street, Boston, MA from 10am to 7pm Saturday and 10am to 5pm Sunday.
