Well, face front, True Believer (where have you heard that before?), this is the real deal! Expanded, enlarged, even invigorated, here’s the new A to Z rundown for Comic-Con 2008 (minus a few letters—we apologize to J, K, L, Q, U and X for not having any work for them this time out). As always, your complete source for up-todate information and breaking news is www.comic-con.org (Please note: All schedules and information listed here with specific website addresses will also appear in the onsite Events Guide, available free to Comic-Con attendees while supplies last.)

Comic-Con will again present three full rooms dedicated to the very best in anime screenings throughout the entire four days of the event. Comic-Con’s anime rooms will be 24BC, 25AB, and 25C at the San Diego Convention Center, the same locations as in previous years. As always, you can expect some old favorites, some new surprises, and maybe even a premiere or two! More information, including a complete schedule, will be posted at www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_anime.shtml as the event gets closer.
Art Auction Comic-Con’s Art Auction offers you a chance to see some of the best artists in the industry create art right before your eyes! Best of all, you can purchase this original art for your own collection when it’s auctioned off at Comic-Con. Among the beneficiaries of the Art Auction are the Disabled Services Department and Artists’ Alley. As a nonprofit organization, Comic-Con is committed to making the convention an enjoyable event for all attendees. By actively promoting access for all those with special needs and providing interpreters for its deaf members, Comic-Con guarantees an even wider audience who can appreciate all that comics and pop culture have to offer. The Art Auction helps defray the costs of these services, as well as the costs of Artists’ Alley, where space is provided free to the participating artists. Check your onsite Events Guide for the exact location of the Art Auction, and visit it often during ComicCon. You just might catch your favorite artist creating a masterpiece!
Artists’ Alley Artists’ Alley gives Comic-Con attendees the chance to meet and greet some of their favorite creators, many of whom sell original art, sketches, and exclusive limited-edition prints and sketchbooks. Here’s a preliminary list—as of press time—of who will be in Artists’ Alley. (Comic-Con special guests are in bold.) Check www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_artalley.shtml for updates!
