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.
We are proud to announce Juan Gedeon will be appearing at the 3rd Annual Arizona Comicbook Arts Festival on March 22nd, 2025!
Juan Gedeon was born in Argentina in 1987 and started working as an assistant in an art studio at age 19 before moved to Mexico at 23 to work in animation. He started working in comics at 25, moved to the U.S. in 2015, and hasn’t stopped working and learning since. He is well known for short run on Venom for Marvel and he created The Jurassic League for DC in 2022. He’s currently working on his own characters and stories which will be his best work to date.

Please note, AZCAF is a curated event with limited tables, not everyone who applies is going to get a table.
