Gallatin, Tennessee, is set to host a vibrant celebration of pop culture this November, as the 2026 Gallatin Comic Con returns to the community for its annual event. Organized by Towne Square Records & Comics, the convention promises a family-friendly experience packed with entertainment and opportunities for fans to connect with their favorite celebrities and characters.
This year, the convention is bringing together a diverse lineup of celebrities and icons from various TV shows and anime. John Schneider, the actor behind Bo Duke on "The Dukes of Hazzard" and Jonathan Kent on "Smallville," will be among the returning favorites. The actors will be fresh off the greenlighting of the meta miniseries "Legends," which features members of the original cast in a unique, fictional convention setting.
Other notable guests include Jennifer Cihi, the original English singing voice of the anime fan favorite "Sailor Moon," who will be hosting a special mini-concert on Sunday. Patricia Patts, the voice of Peanuts' Peppermint Patty, will also be in attendance. Johnathon Schaech, known for his work in Amazon Prime's "Blue Ridge" series, DC's "Legends of Tomorrow," "Jonah Hex," and the film "That Thing You Do!" will be sharing his insights and experiences with the audience.
Artists and creators will also be showcasing their talents. Greg Land, a renowned artist with a strong portfolio in Marvel artwork, will be present. Jeff Preston, a professional illustrator featured by Dark Horse Comics, Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, and various advertisement campaigns, will also be part of the event. Lary Stucker, an Eisner-nominated artist who has brought iconic heroes like Spider-Man, Wolverine, Batman, and Wonder Woman to life, will be another highlight. Jay Leisten, an acclaimed comic inker, and Billy Martinez, a comic artist storyteller, will also be contributing to the creative atmosphere.
Celebrity panel sessions will offer attendees the chance to hear first-hand stories from the guests. These sessions will take place both days and are open to all attendees. For those seeking a more up-close-and-personal interaction, optional experiences such as professional photo sessions with featured guests will be available. Attendees can purchase these sessions in advance and on-site, based on availability. Guest tables will also offer meet-and-greet and paid autograph and selfie opportunities.
Shoppers will have a wealth of options as they explore the vendor hall, where they can find collectibles and other souvenirs. The artist alley will feature unique artwork and crafts. Costumes are welcome and encouraged all weekend, with a cosplay contest hosted by Cihi scheduled during Sunday’s programming.
Spider-Man fans and collectors will have a chance to win a 1978 AMF Junior Roadmaster Spider-Man Bike valued at $800. Tickets for the raffle will be available both days, and the drawing will take place live on the event’s Facebook page.
