Viva Comics! is a new comics art show which opened Saturday, September 21, 2013, in advance of this year’s second annual San Diego Comic Fest, which will be held October 4-5. The show is a follow-up to last year’s successful Unmasked! exhibit of comic art, and it celebrates the local comic book and fantasy artists in San Diego.

Curated by writer-aritst Batton Lash (Wolff & Byrd: Counselors of the Macabre) at Artlab Studios, the show’s opening reception is Saturday and it then runs through October 3. Artists featured in the show will also be at Comic Fest.
