FRIDAY 5:00 – 5:45PM HOW TO DRAW FUNNY! WITH THE SIMPSONS’ PHIL ORTIZ (CONFERENCE B)

Ever wonder how humor artists are able to create characters and stories that leave us laughing like idiots? Here, one of the finest practitioners of the simple art of humor—Phil Ortiz (The Simpsons; Muppet Babies)—tells and shows you how he does it! Moderated by Danny Fingeroth (How to Create Comics from Script to Print).

6:00 – 6:45PM PHYSCHOLOGY OF THE WALKING DEAD (CONFERENCE B)

In this panel, Ron Wright, Ph.D. & Paul Jones, Ph.D. from Southern Nazarene University will explore psychological and theological themes in AMC’s television series, The Walking Dead. Specifically, they will explore themes around understanding human nature, ethics, the link between physiology, behavior, and the imago dei, and the importance of meaning through analysis of episodes and seasons via theoretical and empirical psychological models, as well as theological frameworks.

SATURDAY 12:30 – 1:15PM SPOTLIGHT ON ROB LIEFELD (CONFERENCE C)

Rob Liefeld is an American comic book writer, illustrator, and publisher, a prominent artist in the 1990s. In the early ‘90s, self-taught artist Liefeld became prominent due to his work on Marvel Comics’ The New Mutants and later X-Force. In 1992, he and several other popular Marvel illustrators left the company to found Image Comics, which started a wave of comic books owned by their creators rather than by publishers. The first book published by Image Comics was Rob’s Youngblood #1. His creations Deadpool, Cable, Youngblood and X-Force helped change the comic book landscape and remain staples of both Marvel and Image comics. Danny Fingeroth (Superman on the Couch: What Superheroes Really Tell Us About Ourselves and Our Society; Spider-Man) moderates.

2:00 – 2:45PM BOLDLY GOING WITH WILLIAM SHATNER (BALLROOM A)

With a career spanning over five decades and an extensive résumé that includes starring roles in shows such as Star Trek and Boston Legal, Emmy-award winner William Shatner takes the stage to dish on the roles that have made him a household name and one of the most renowned men in television history.

Wizard World is proud to present world-renown animator Tom Cook (Tarzan; Flash Gordon; HeMan and the Masters of the Universe; She-Ra Princess of Power) to Tulsa! This panel will be a demonstration of the steps taken to bring an idea from script to screen. Cook will begin with a short story of how he became an animator back in the late 1970s and then describe the different departments in an animation studio and what they do to move the development of the cartoon forward. Tom will have a few scenes he has worked on over the years on video and then will open the floor for questions about either the process or any other question you may have. So come out and see first-hand how your favorite cartoons were made!

In 1939, Marvel Comics #1 debuted, unleashing The Sub-Mariner and The Human Torch on the world, and launching what would come to be known as the Marvel Universe. Danny Fingeroth (Spider-Man; The Stan Lee Universe; longtime Marvel writer/editor, researcher on Taschen’s upcoming 75 Years of Marvel: From the Golden Age to the Silver Screen) and Aaron Sagers (Paranormal Pop Culture; MTV) present an illustrated tour through the more than seven decades of the phenomenon that is Marvel.

1:00 – 1:30PM BLOOD ON THE BAYOU WITH RUTINA WESLEY (ASSEMBLY HALL)

Rutina Wesley is best known for the character Tara Thorton, on HBO’s gritty Southern vampire drama, True Blood. Rutina’s portrayal of Tara Thornton, a character whose caustic tongue and tough manner conceal her vulnerability, helped make True Blood a cult hit. The success of True Blood shocked naysayers when the vampire soap opera became a favorite of both critics and audiences alike. Now she joins her fans for her very first Wizard World appearance to answer your burning questions!

1:30 – 2:15PM BEHIND THE MUSIC WITH WORLD OF WARCRAFT COMPOSER JASON HAYES AND CRITICAL HIT EXECUTIVE PRODUCER MICHAEL GLUCK (CONFERENCE A)
