The convention will be headlined by American comic book writer Ron Marz, known for his work on ‘Silver Surfer’ and as the co-creator of ‘Green Lantern Kyle Rayner’. 

It will also see the presence of Savio Mascarenhas, Group Art Director at Amar Chitra Katha, Prasad Bhat, founder of Graphicurry and other heavyweights in India’s comic, illustration, and visual storytelling scene.
