From Image Comics:
Featuring interior art by Luana Vecchio, C.P. Wilson III, Marianna Ignazzi, and Tom Williams, the oversized one-shot transforms convention spectacle into something far stranger. From collectors pushed past the brink to fandom spiraling into obsession, every story captures the excitement, anxiety, and beautiful absurdity of convention culture as the show floor slowly comes apart.
Collectors will also find plenty to hunt down with a stacked lineup of covers by Maria The Wolf, Luana Vecchio, and Jordan Hart, alongside a 1:10 sketch photo variant by Tony Fleecs and a 1:20 variant by Zach Howard, who incorporates all seven of Hall of Fame editor Carmine Infantino's legendary "7 Things Guaranteed to Sell a Comic"—gorillas, motorcycles, dinosaurs, cities on fire, purple skies, time rifts, and "cryin' and dyin'"—into one wonderfully over-the-top convention keepsake.
And the experience doesn't end with the final page. Included in the back of the issue is CONLAND, a Candyland-inspired board game illustrated by Chris Anderson (American Caper) that hilariously reimagines the endurance test of convention lines. The issue also features faux product comics inspired by classic '70s Hostess ads, delivering the kind of strange bonus material that feels like it was unearthed from an old convention program rather than intentionally included.
Fans attending San Diego Comic-Con can also celebrate the release at the Dread the Hall H 2026: More (Fictional) Comic Convention Horror Stories panel on Saturday, July 25, from 5:00–6:00 PM PDT in Room 23ABC.
Everyone has experienced the joy and anguish of trying to get into an oversold panel, and the comic spotlighting those highlights and horrors returns for its annual celebration of both. Chris Ryall and Jordan Hart, joined by cover artist Maria The Wolf and interior artist Chris Anderson, will share spirited convention stories—both real and fictional—in celebration of comic conventions and the new anthology.
Every attendee will receive a free, one-of-a-kind Dread the Hall H enamel pin while supplies last.
