Wizard World Entertainment’s first Anaheim Comic Con 2010 is running April 16-18, 2010 at the Anaheim Convention Center, 800 West Katella Avenue, Anaheim, California. This major pop-culture convention brings together fans of comics, toys, collectibles and offers a chance to see actors, writers, artists that each industry has to offer.

Leading the impressive guest list is Special Guest Stan Lee, world famous comic book & motion picture icon. “...I’m a big fan of Wizard magazine and...I’m really looking forward to the Wizard Con and to meeting all the fans—plus, there’s something else!” said Stan. “I’m also eager to hear everyone’s reaction when I tell them my two breaking news announcements!”

Fans will have the opportunity to question Stan about those mysterious announcements and a lot more, and an exclusive Stan Lee interview will take place at Anaheim Comic Con.  And naturally, the pundit of POW! will also take part in the 100% Cotton Q&A session hosted by Wizard Editor Mike Cotton.
