The Arizona Comicbook Arts Festival is proud to welcome the co-creator of Love and Rockets!

Together with his brothers Gilbert and Mario, Jaime co-created the ongoing comic book series Love and Rockets in 1981. Love and Rockets has evolved into one of the great bodies of American literary fiction, spanning five decades and countless high-water marks in the medium’s history. In 2016, Hernandez won the prestigious Los Angeles Times Book Prize for his graphic novel, The Love Bunglers. In 2017, he (along with Gilbert) was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.

We are thrilled to welcome Jaime to Phoenix where he will join Phil Hester and over 100 other comic creators and retailers at our event which is proud to celebrate comics, and the people who make them. Tickets are on sale now. With half-off early bird pricing for a limited time, now is the perfect time to get yours!

If you’re a past exhibitor and you’ve received an email from someone claiming to be our “hotel marketing team”, please be aware that they are not partnered with us. There is a company or person emailing past exhibitors and claiming to represent AZCAF in that regard, but it has nothing to do with us. Please treat that with caution.

Our only hotel partner is The Foundre, in downtown Phoenix. Exhibitor rates for the Foundre will be available sometime in the next two months.
