This high-end event will take place at the luxurious and historic hotel, The Biltmore Los Angeles, November 7th and 8th, 2026.

The ICON Festival of Comic & Narrative Art will host The Art Of Alex Ross Exhibit. First seen in its entirety at the Dunn Museum in Chicago, the exhibit makes its way to Los Angeles for the first time. The impressive exhibit features more than one hundred original works by Ross. Ross’ artwork paved the way for a wider acceptance for painted comics, with seminal stories including Marvels, Kingdom Come, Uncle Sam, Justice, Astro City and the award-winning and national bestselling Fantastic Four: Full Circle graphic novel. Abrams Comic Arts released his critically acclaimed graphic novel Marvel Dimensions in September 2026.
