Manila, Philippines – September 6, 2024 – SuperManila Comic Con 2024 is set to be the most anticipated pop culture event in the Philippines this year, bringing together a star-studded lineup of international comic book legends and artists. Scheduled for September 7-8 at The Space, One Ayala, this year’s convention will spotlight some of the most influential figures in the global comic book industry, with artists flying in from the United States, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Internationally renowned artist Artgerm (Stanley Lau), known for his captivating digital art featured on iconic covers from DC Comics, Marvel, and more, will headline the upcoming event. Originally from Hong Kong, Artgerm's distinct style has garnered a massive following worldwide. Fans can look forward to exclusive workshops and autograph sessions with this celebrated artist.

Also gracing the event is Peach Momoko, the Eisner Award-winning artist behind Marvel’s enchanting 'Momokoverse.' Hailing from Japan, her ethereal art style, deeply rooted in Japanese folklore, has made a significant impact on modern comics. Attendees will have the rare opportunity to watch Momoko in action during live sketching sessions, engage with her in a special Q&A, and acquire a special art print of the Filipina Marvel superhero, Wave (image attached), exclusively available at her booth.

Legendary American comic book writer and artist Bob Layton, best known for his definitive work on Iron Man comics, will share his decades of experience in the industry. Layton's groundbreaking contributions to Marvel Comics have left an indelible mark on the superhero genre, making him a must-see guest at this year’s convention.


Joining them is Mike Zeck, the celebrated comic book artist renowned for his work on Marvel’s Spider-Man and Secret Wars series. Zeck's dynamic storytelling and iconic character designs have left a lasting legacy in the comic book world, making his appearance a highly anticipated highlight of the event.

The convention will also welcome the U.S.-based C.B. Cebulski, Marvel Comics' Editor-in-Chief, who has played a pivotal role in shaping the current landscape of superhero storytelling. Cebulski’s insights into the future of Marvel Comics, along with his experience discovering new talent, will be the highlight of a special panel discussion at SuperManila Comic Con 2024.

“Bringing together such a diverse and iconic lineup of creators is a dream come true for our event,” said Ivan Guerrero, the organizer of SuperManila Comic Con. “This is a rare opportunity for Filipino fans to connect with the creators behind their favorite stories and characters.”

In addition to these international headliners, SuperManila Comic Con 2024 will showcase a stellar roster of globally renowned Filipino artists, including Jay Anacleto, Carlo Pagulayan, Stephen Segovia, and Leinil Yu.

Attendees can also expect a wide array of activities, including exclusive merchandise, engaging panel discussions, interactive exhibits, and meet-and-greet sessions with artists. The weekend promises excitement for fans of all ages.

One of the event’s major highlights is the debut of the first-ever Transformers Philippine exclusive—a special edition comic book variant featuring a Jeepney Autobot (image attached), poised to become a coveted collector’s item.
