ADULT SWIM RETURNS TO SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON WITH
“PIRATE PURRRTY ON THE GREEN,” MUST-SEE PANEL EVENTS, AND EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOKS AND GIVEAWAYS

“Continuing our long tradition of being on the green at SDCC, last year we introduced a pirate ship motif because we have always viewed ourselves as media pirates,” said Adult Swim President Michael Ouweleen. “We’ve also always used cats in Adult Swim iconography (because they are night creatures?), so this year, obviously, it’s cats and pirates. Expect owls next year, because that’s the other animal we associate ourselves with. Just roll with it. Don’t think too hard. It will be hilarious. Please come hang with us and the best show creators and animation staff in the business.”

 

George Lucas, Guillermo del Toro, Doug Chiang, & Queen Latifah at Comic-Con International


 

Comic-Con® International Welcomes George Lucas,
Guillermo del Toro, and Doug Chiang for a Conversation Moderated by Queen Latifah

Panel Explores the Power of Illustrated Storytelling and Offers

Sneak Peek of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

 Legendary filmmaker George Lucas to make Comic-Con International appearance alongside Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro and Academy Award-winning artist Doug Chiang on Sunday, July 27, in Hall H.

The panel, titled Sneak Peek of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, will be moderated by Queen Latifah, the Grammy-, Emmy-, and Golden Globe-winning and Academy Award-nominated artist and longtime fan of fantasy and pop culture. The panel of iconic creators will discuss the power of illustrated stories and the role of narrative art in society. From ancient cave drawings and hieroglyphics to paintings, murals, illustrations, comics, digital media, and sculptures, this panel will delve into the universal language of illustrated storytelling.

David Glanzer, Chief Communications and Strategy Officer of Comic-Con, said: “We are beyond thrilled to welcome George Lucas to Comic-Con for the very first time. Nearly five decades ago, Star Wars made one of its earliest public appearances at our convention, along with a booth featuring Howard Chaykin’s now legendary Star Wars poster as a promotional item. Now, to have Mr. Lucas return—this time to debut the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art—is a true full-circle moment. His lifelong dedication to visual storytelling and world-building resonates deeply with us and our community, and the museum’s mission to celebrate narrative art in all its forms perfectly reflects what Comic-Con has championed from the very beginning."
