Are you going to the San Diego Comic Con next week? If so, you can see me on two different panels, both of which are moderated by Danny Fingeroth. Here’s the pertinent info for both of them:

On Saturday July 25^th, 2026 at 1:00pm in Room 23ABC, I’ll be appearing on a panel called “Will Eisner’s New York.”

Here’s an official description of the event, as well as a list of all the panelists:

No one portrayed New York City like Will Eisner. His hometown-inspired works include Will Eisner’s New York, The Building, City People Notebook, and Invisible People. He showcased New York City—disguised as Central City—in his classic comic series The Spirit. New York City is also a backdrop in many of his graphic novels, including A Contract with God and Dropsie Avenue. Moderator Danny Fingeroth (Will Eisner Studios) and Eisner experts Frank Miller (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns), Paul Levitz (Will Eisner: Champion of the Graphic Novel), Jeff Smith (RASL, Bone), Charles Kochman (Abrams ComicArts), and Arie Kaplan (From Krakow to Krypton) reflect on the powerful relationship between the artist and his city.

And on Sunday July 26^th, 2026 at 11:00am in Room 4, I’ll be appearing on a panel called “Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor at 50.”

Here’s an official description of that event, as well as a list of all the panelists:

Harvey Pekar (1939–2010) created and wrote American Splendor comics, which debuted 50 years ago in 1976. American Splendor also inspired a branch of memoir comics and the 2003 American Splendor film. Joyce Brabner (1952–2024), Pekar’s wife and creative partner, collaborated on American Splendor, along with artists including R. Crumb, Gary Dumm, Frank Stack, Joe Zabel, Joseph Remnant, Spain Rodriguez, Dean Haspiel, and Josh Neufeld. The work influenced generations of graphic novelists. Panelists include Joe Zabel (American Splendor artist), Peter Kuper (Insectopolis, who knew Pekar in 1970s Cleveland), Arie Kaplan (From Krakow to Krypton), Jackie Estrada (Comic-Con International, friend of Harvey’s), Andrew Kunka (USC Sumter), and moderator Danny Fingeroth (Disguised as Clark Kent: Jews, Comics, and the Creation of the Superhero).
