With Long Beach and Anaheim getting their own conventions, why not Pasadena? A consortium of
FAME LA , Vanguard Productions, and Animation Ink, in cooperation with Desert Wind Comics, have just announced the LA Rock’n Comic-Con for May 28-30 at the Pasadena Convention Center. Stan Lee is the Guest of Honor, and the press release notes that Stan will be “drastically limiting his signing appearances in 2010″, although this is the third show he’s either appeared at or been announced for, which isn’t all that drastic, given his age and status. Other guests include Jim Steranko and a variety of people from LA’s film and animation industries. More in the PR:
