Turtles by the Beach

A Live Signing Experience During San Diego Comic-Con Weekend

ABOUT THE EVENT

“Turtles by the Beach” is a live signing experience taking place during San Diego Comic-Con, bringing together some of the top creators and artists behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a centralized fan event less than 10 minutes from the heart of Gaslamp District.

Instead of spending the entire weekend chasing artists across convention halls, fans will have the opportunity to meet multiple creators in one location, with signings, sketches, merchandise, and exclusive items available throughout the event.

Presented by Comics and Cocktails, “Turtles by the Beach” combines the energy of Comic-Con with a more accessible and fan-focused environment built for collectors, longtime TMNT fans, and newcomers alike.
