IDW Doubles Down on Annual Comic-Con Dinner with Two Special Guests: Walter Simonson and Stan Sakai!

IDW Welcomes Fans to a Memorable Evening with Two Comic Book Legends, Featuring Original Illustrations by Each Artist, Rare Collectible Books, and More!

SAN DIEGO, CA (June 28, 2019) – Upping the ante on an annual SDCC tradition, IDW Publishing will host TWO industry legends – Stan Sakai (creator of the critically acclaimed Usagi Yojimbo) and Walter Simonson (legendary writer/artist of The Mighty Thor, Manhunter, and Ragnarök) for one very special dinner to which YOU are invited!

Mingle with both Sakai and Simonson on the evening of Thursday, July 18th in an event strictly limited to a handful of attendees, taking place in a private room at an upscale restaurant in the San Diego Gaslamp district, just a short walk from the convention center.

To participate, fans would need to purchase a dinner package. IDW offers two (2) dinner packages, with each package including special rewards relative to either Sakai or Simonson. The two dinners are held together in one room so fans may purchase both packages.

The price for either dinner package is $500 each.

Regarding original artwork, the diners will receive the illustrations featuring the character of their choice (as drawn by either Simonson or Sakai, respectively), at the dinner event.
