Welcome … to the 5 annual

th
A
s we celebrate our 5th year, we couldn’t be more excited about the show
we’ve put together. We are continuing with the Horror element, and
added more Kids Programming, with a lot of fun things to do on and
off of the floor. Check out the Auction by Premiere Props, enter your artwork in
Infected By Art’s Talent Search, and visit our new Cosplay Corner to see some of
your favorite cosplayers! Watch this year for more exhibitors, some familiar faces,
and some new ones as well.
This weekend, you’ll find some of most talented creators from the worlds of
comics, animation and horror – all under one roof! Add to that a fabulous
blend of exhibitors from the comic and pop culture world, plus an array of
entertainment that will keep you hoppin’ all day long. Don’t miss the exhibit
floor entertainment area, the Kids Area, the Laser tag course, and so much
more!
Keep in mind, Artist Alley is still the centerpiece of the exhibit floor. Don’t miss
this unique opportunity to meet your favorite artists and writers as well your
chance to discover some new talent. We’re always blown away by how diverse
and cool this area is.
And if you’re looking for panels and other programming? Admission is free with
your badge. In costume or not, it will be the social event of the season. Saturday
night also features live art and drawing with the Conan Show’s own Pierre
Bernard Jr.
Saturday evening kicks off our third annual Masquerade Ball in the Promenade
Ballroom at 8:00 PM. It’s free with your LBCC badge. In costume or not, it will

interesting panel, commission an exclusive piece of art, bid on an original piece
of movie memorabilia in our auction room or just wander around admiring all
the cool costumes. It’s your show, we hope you enjoy it.

General Info
Show Hours
Long Beach Comic & Horror Con is an annual
convention celebrating comic books, horror
and pop culture at the Long Beach Convention
Center. The show was created by some of the
industry’s most ardent supporters, who continue
to believe that by creating a show we love, others
will love it too. At LBCHC, you’ll find the typical
convention fare (panels, autographs, creators,
costumes, booths) and a few surprises.
You MUST wear your
badge at all times. What?
Aren’t you proud of your
geekdom?
Sorry, NO PETS, except for
registered service animals.
And there is no such thing
as seeing-eye fish.

your credit card payment.
Where are the ATM machines?

Why is the information in your Program
Guide wrong?
Because it’s the Program Guide from Earth-3. No,
we produced this program guide over three weeks

since then. Don’t kill the messenger! We kept
working to bring you the best show possible even
after the printed materials were long gone.
Do I have to pay extra to get autographs?
Some guests charge for their autographs, and some
don’t. Please ask first.
I need to blog frequently. Will there be wi-fi?
