I Know That Dude!

Comic-Con's Autograph Area showcases celebrities galore!

For many Comic-Con attendees, the Autograph Area represents a veritable convention in a convention. Here's the chance to meet and greet one-or more!-of your favorite celebrities and get their autograph on that special item.

This year, the star-studded line-up included luminaries such as author Holly Black, actors Claudia Christian, Kathy Garver, Richard Hatch, Herbert Jefferson Jr., Kelli Maroney, Denny Miller, Erin Moran, Mike Nelson, Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson, Katey Sagal, Marc Singer, Brinke Stevens, wrestler Rob Van Dam, Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's, and FX legend Stan Winston.

In addition, the Autograph Area serves as "signing central" for Comic-Con's incredible schedule of programs and special events. Some of the special guests and panel participants sign in the Sails Pavilion after their programs, and many signings have special free and for sale items that you can have signed right before your very eyes. Ray Bradbury, Darwyn Cooke, Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman, Laurell K. Hamilton, Stan Lee, Todd McFarlane, R. A. Salvatore, and J. Michael Straczynski all took time to sign for their fans in the Autograph Area in 2007.
