ARCHIE BRINGS THE HEAT TO 2010’S SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL COMIC-CON

New York, NY (July 12, 2010): Archie Comics—home to the world’s hottest pop culture comic teens—will bare all at the San Diego International Comic Convention! The convention, which takes place from Thurs. July 22nd to Sun. July, 25th, with a special “Preview Night” on Wed. July 21st, is the hottest event in the comic book calendar and Archie is about to heat things up even more!

Every single day of the convention will be jam-packed with artist appearances, signings, and 3 panels guaranteed to be the hottest news from Archie yet with a hit list of scorching-hot announcements never before available to public eyes and ears!

Archie’s Friday, Saturday and Sunday panels are the “it” place to be to get hip to what’s next from the teen comic mogul Archie Comics. Friday’s panel, “Archie Comics: Cooler Than Ever! Panel” from 12-1pm on July 23rd is the only way to be the first to find out about the volcano of Archie projects arriving in the next year and see super-exclusive sneak peeks at projects still in development.

On Saturday July 24th at 2:30 Archie Comics presents “Stan Lee Comics Debuts” where Stan “The Man” Lee himself will tell all about his new line of comics from Archie, “Stan Lee Comics,” including “The Super Seven” announced earlier this year. And on Sunday’s Kids Day, 10 top Archie creatives will come together to talk about “Growing Up with Archie” and share insider perspectives. It will be a great chance to meet creators face-to-face, and all fans in attendance will receive a free Archie comic giveaway.

When are you guys going to be at the Mid-Ohio Con in November? That one's only two hours from me

Toronto isn't too bad, but it's still a bit too far to drive for a comic book convention (5-6 hours I think)
