sPeciaL guests incLude: John baRRowman chLoe bennet LONG BEACH COMIC CON LOGO 2014 175+ Guests Space Expo Animation Island Artist Alley Cosplay Corner 100+ Panels and more! WELCOME LETTER T hanks so much for being a part of Long Beach Comic Con 2015! We’re very excited to have you as a guest at what we believe is our most amazing show ever. Everything you always loved about LBCC is here again, but even better: a huge show floor filled with exhibitors ranging from top comic book publishers to the best comics and toy dealers, an Artists Alley overflowing with all your fave comics talent, great special/celebrity guests, plus our super fun kids area, and our biggest Cosplay Corner ever! What we’re truly excited about is our partnership with the prestigious Columbia Memorial Space Center, for our first ever Space Expo. This one-of-a-kind event features interactive exhibits, very special guests, and fascinating panels, all to do with the wild and wonderful world of space (the real kind!). And speaking of panels, we have a lineup that will totally blow your mind. From the Mouse Guard panel to The Hillywood Show, there’s truly something for everyone. We’re always asked about guests who appear on the list but who don’t have a “home base” on the exhibit floor – there are times when a guest might only be participating in a signing or a panel, so we haven’t assigned them a table. Please make sure to check the programming schedule to see exactly what your favorite creators are up to at LBCC, so you don’t miss them. And don’t forget to mark your calendar now for the Long Beach Comic Expo, happening on February 20-21 of next year - same place, same amount of fun. Thanks so much for voting us the “Best of the Beach” in 2014 – let’s do it again in 2015! Enjoy the Show, Martha & the Team P.S. We’re excited to announce the launch of New Jersey Comic Expo on November 21-22, 2015 at the New Jersey Convention Center. Visit www.newjerseycomicexpo.com for details or ask a LBCC staff member for details! Animation Island Banner created by Mike Morris, Joey McCormick, Ben Risbeck, Sam Grinberg, Matthew Hill, Rachel Reed, Jeaux Janovsky, Joanna Barondess, Jody Singleton and John Varvir.

Can I take pictures? Tickets at the door are $35 per person for a one day ticket on Saturday, and $30 for a one day ticket on Sunday. Tickets for a weekend pass are $55. Children ages 10 and under are admitted for free with the purchase of an adult admission (limit of 2 per adult, please). Senior citizen, military, police and firefighter discounts are available. Generally, you can take photographs at the Long Beach Comic Con of the conventioneers and exhibits. Please respect privacy and ask before taking a picture of a celebrity, as some of them charge for their photo and autograph. Where is Lost & Found located? Lost & Found is located in the main lobby at the Registration Booth. When is the Costume Contest? Costume Contest begins at 7:30pm, doors will open at 7:00pm for audience seating. The event will run roughly two hours, and no flash photography is allowed. Any photos or videos taken must be for personal, non-profit use only! Do I have to wear my badge or wrist band at all times? Even if it wasn’t a stunning accessory that the Sex in the City gals would pay hundreds of dollars for—yes, you need to wear it at all times while inside the hall. If you are caught without one, we will assume you did not pay the admission fee and you will be asked to leave. I want to dress my dog up as my sidekick and bring him. Can I? Sorry, no pets, except for registered service animals. And in that case, they shouldn’t be playing dress up. Do I have to pay extra to get autographs? Some guests charge for their autographs, and some don’t. Please ask first. To complete my costume, I carry a large battle-axe that I hone to razor sharpness every day. It’s cool for me to bring that, right? Ummm, seriously? Props are one thing, but anything that could take an eye out, could hurt someone, or make the cops (or my mother) take it away from you, is not allowed. We have a strict policy of checking weapons to ensure that they are only props. The security guards at the entrance will check yours and place a band on it to show that it’s been approved. The responsibility to get this weapons check performed is yours, so please don’t sneak in without it. We reserve the right to deny access to anyone who is in a costume that presents a public safety or security issue. POLICIES All programming rooms have limited capacity as set by the Long Beach Fire Marshal and subject to available seating. Although your LBCC badge is required for entry into all events, it doesn’t guarantee you access to any programming session if it has reached its capacity, subject to the discretion of Long Beach Convention Center and Long Beach Comic Con staff members. We don’t clear our programming rooms between sessions. Long Beach Comic Con believes in creating an environment where every attendee, exhibitor and staff member is treated with respect and dignity, and does not tolerate any act of bullying or harassment. If an attendee of any type is believed to be in violation of our rules, they will be asked to leave immediately without reimbursement of any kind. Long Beach Comic Con employs professional security guards who enforce our rules and regulations, as do our staff members. Volunteers are NOT staff members and are assisting us in exchange for certain reimbursement and experiential value. Please report any serious incidents or concerns to a Long Beach Comic Con Staff Member, as identified by their badge. Why is your program book information wrong? We had to send this to the printer in late August and things may have changed since then. Please check the handouts for updated programming information! 4 LONG BEACH COMIC CON 2015 | longbeachcomiccon.com *Subject to change.
