Creators at Fan Expo Philadelphia 2026

Over 60 incredible creators were announced to be in attendance this year at Fan Expo Philadelphia, but that doesn’t even include the overwhelmingly talented small press creators and publishers that were around the artist alley.

Every inch of the event was covered in talent, from fresh faces to seasoned veterans. Often the creator you want to see for a new release is sat next to the very person who inspired them. 

The busiest day of any con is Saturday and a few incredible creators gave a moment of their time in between selling books, commissions and prints like we had never seen.

I’m just having a great time, I love the Philadelphia comic scene. I’m a product of it, growing up and going to school here. I love being back in Fan Expo Philly, getting to talk to other creators,  talk to local fans and getting to sign comics.

I got to meet such cool people, have a really nice panel discussion with fans who were truly engaging and asking really great questions. Fans are so excited about Fela, We have basically sold out of our books, so just a great time. Would love to be back at Fan Expo again.
