Patrick Reed (editor of Depth Of Field Magazine) will moderate, and panelists include:
-Professor William H. Foster III (commentator, educator, and historian)
-Adam ‘Illus’ Wallenta (co-creator of the Public Enemy comic book, acclaimed MC and illustrator)

-Sasha Fay (graphic artist, designer at MISHKA NYC, colorist of She-Hulk and Zygote)
-and other special guests.
ComiCONN is held August 15-18 at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, and this program will take place in the Harbor Room, on the first floor – directions and ticket information for the convention can be found at http://www.comiconn.com/
