Get ready to spend a day celebrating the legacy of Johnstown’s own Steve Ditko! 

Steve’s career in comics has had a tremendous impact on so many fans and creators in the industry, so we are bringing comic book enthusiasts together for a day of Ditko-inspired fun at the Bottle Works Ethnic Arts Center!

Our guests include creators that worked with Steve as well as those inspired by him. Confirmed guest artists include: Mort Todd, Will Murray, Michael T. Gilbert, & Khoi Pham with more to be announced! We will also be joined by members of Steve Ditko Estate, super Spidey fan, Bruce Wechtenhiser and more! 

The Con will also be your first opportunity to pick up the very first publication from Hero Works Publishing, Captain Bottle Works! This Ditko-inspired production includes stories from Ditko playwright, Lenny Schwartz, and art from Bottle Works Creative Director Matt Lamb, Glenn Klimeck, K. Brandon Wilt, and our student artists Ariana Skebeck & Garrett Murphy all of whom will be on hand to sign your copy of the book!
