Meet Jo Chen at The Pittsburgh Comicon, April 23 - 25

Pittsburgh was my first American convention when I moved to the U.S. in the mid 1990s. I was pretty scared and didn't know what to expect. Needless to say, I had a great time and everybody was very nice to me. It helped set the tone.

I will have plenty of prints (Devil May Cry, Street Fighters, Darkstalkers, etc.), copies of my sketchbooks and of my limited edition illustration book. Bring your Buffy and Runaways issues and trades and I'll sign what you like.
