2026 Programming
We are excited to offer a selection of signings, panels, and classes this year! See below for our full programming schedule.
Signings
Our signing lineup offers a chance to step outside the show floor and connect directly with your favorite writers and artists. Meet the creators behind the work you love, discover new voices, and get your books, zines, and prints signed in a more relaxed, up-close setting.
Signings are open to the public and will take place on a first-come, first-served basis, with no pre-registration required.
Signings will take place just outside of St. Mark’s Comics, on the first floor of Building 5 at Industry City.
