Comic Con producer Wizard World, known for their pop culture conventions that celebrate everything from graphic novels and comic books to gaming, technology and toys, is bringing their unique blend of celebrities, artists and writers to Nashville for the first time this weekend for panel discussions, photo opportunities and plenty of people watching.

Eisner Award Hall of Famer Stan Lee, Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead and The Fonz, Henry Winkler, are among the celebrities scheduled to attend the inaugural Wizard World Nashville Comic Con, Oct. 18-20 at Music City Center. But that’s just the beginning. Fans of the iconic Evil Dead movies will have the opportunity to meet Bruce Campbell one night, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s Eliza Dushka another.
