Did you miss Fan Expo Dallas? Can’t wait for San Diego Comic-Con? If you live in the Dallas area, we’ve got a fun way to spend your Sunday afternoon. Bigfanboy.com is hosting a special mini-con of sorts to celebrate the opening of JURASSIC WORLD and the official start of summer. JURASSICON will be going on this Sunday at Zeus Comics & Toys (just South of 35 and Inwood). Come meet local comic book creators, get your favorite comics signed, and even commission an original sketch if you like. Plus Bigfanboy will be giving away tons of cool promotional items from upcoming movies, along with signed items, DVDs, and more. Please note, the items the comic creators bring, and the merchandise in the store is NOT free… but we’ll give you plenty of free stuff. If you live in Big D, you will not want to miss this.
Special guests include:
Steve Erwin – artist of DEATHSTROKE, STAR TREK, CITIZEN OF THE GALAXY
Lawrence Reynolds – cover artist of SENSATION COMICS and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
Scott Harben – photography artist for Lucasfilm, Marvel and more
Kez Wilson – artist of POWER OF THE ATOM, SCARLETT, HAMMERLOCKE, WHAT THE?
As previously mentioned, Bigfanboy.com will have a table where we’ll give away tons of cool freebies both comic book and movie related.

We want you to express your fandom, however you like, so see if you can wow us… just please keep it tasteful as this is a family event.
Families are encouraged, though parents please make sure to keep an eye on your kids. This store is filled with collectibles, so we don’t want any unexpected damage. If you bend it or break it, you buy it. Hope to see everyone there, and tell your friends!
Once again, the hours for JURASSICON are 2:00pm until 6:00pm on Sunday, June 14. Zeus Comics & Toys is located just South of I-35 on Inwood Road, a block South of Irving Blvd. in Dallas. Look for the giant “Zeus” sign on the outside, and JURASSIC WORLD posters in the windows. Hope to see you there!
