Convention Schedule 2026
I’ll be hitting the road again in 2026 for a series of comic conventions where I’ll be showcasing new artwork, comics, and some major projects I’ve been working on behind the scenes. If you’re attending any of these shows, be sure to stop by my table, say hello, and check out the latest releases from R.L. Black and Vantage Comics.
Here’s where you can find me this year.
Emerald City Comic Con
📍 Seattle Convention Center – Seattle, WA
📅 March 5–8, 2026
The first stop of the year is Emerald City Comic Con, one of the largest pop-culture conventions in the Pacific Northwest, bringing together comic creators, artists, and fans from around the world.
At ECCC I’ll be premiering my new art book:
“The Void: The Art of R.L. Black – Version 1.5.”
This expanded edition features new illustrations, additional process material, and a deeper look into my creative workflow.
If you’re interested in horror, science fiction, dark fantasy, and surreal imagery, this book will be available for the first time at the show.
I’ll also have original art prints, comics, and other merchandise available at my booth.
C2E2 – Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo
📍 McCormick Place – Chicago, IL
📅 March 27–29, 2026
Later in March, I’ll be heading to Chicago for C2E2, a major Midwest pop-culture convention dedicated to comics, gaming, cosplay, and fandom culture.
TABLE U-24
Terrificon
📍 Mohegan Sun – Uncasville, CT
📅 August 2026
Later in the summer, I’ll be appearing at Terrificon, Connecticut’s largest comic convention, which brings together comic creators, pop-culture celebrities, and artists from across the industry.
By this point the Morbid Fantasy magazine will be printed and available, and I’ll be selling copies directly at the show along with artwork, comics, and other merchandise.
