This event is included with the cost of admission to the museum, advance tickets available (at discounted rate) here.
"It feels great to come full circle and be able to return to the Cartoon Art Museum where it all started. Our goal has always been to shine a light on gifted artists & writers working in the Comic Book Arts and the Cartoon Art Museum has always been there to support our efforts and to share their friendship & professionalism with us. For that, and many other reasons, we are glad we can come back and 'sprinkle' that "Latino Comics Expo" spirit amongst friends in the Bay Area and help re-introduce fans to this amazing museum and their beautiful new location"
-Ricardo Padill, co-founder of the Latino Comics Expo
