The New York Comic Con (NYCC) has announced the names of the authors who'll be appearing at its 2008 convention, which will be 18-20 April 18-20 at the Jacob Javits Center. Science fiction and fantasy authors who'll be speaking at NYCC include Danielle Bennett, Kate Brallier, Terry Brooks, Peter David, Isamu Fukui, Felix Gilman, Nina Harper, Jaida Jones, David Keck, Naomi Novik, Brian Slattery, Alissa Torres, and F. Paul Wilson. Guests of Honor include Mike Mignola, Grant Morrison, and T.M.Revolution.
Noting the roster of non-comic authors, the NYCC says that "while a comic book convention at its base, New York Comic Con has grown to span across pop culture, and given its home—New York City—in the publishing capital of the world, it receives tremendous support from publishers, with exhibitors including Bantam Books, Del Rey, Disney Publishing, Dorchester Publishing, Hachette Book Group, Penguin Group, Random House, and Tor Books."
