Actor and writer David Dastmalchian will join Dark Horse Comics this Friday, October 13th, at the Famous Monsters Festival in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania for one night only.

The Famous Monsters Festival is a “horror, sci-fi, and fantasy themed convention that brings the world’s top genre celebrities and vendors to fans.” This Friday the 13th, Dastmalchian will hold a Q&A panel at the convention, starting at 7pm. Dark Horse will also have a table at the event (again, for Friday night only), where they will be selling a variety of spooky titles, including both volumes of Count Crowley, Dastmalchian and Lukas Ketner’s horror series.

Another “spooky read” the publisher will have at the event is their upcoming HEADLESS HORSEMAN HALLOWEEN ANNUAL. The one-shot is the publisher’s first annual Halloween anthology, and will feature five stories from different creators, including one written by Dastmalchian himself!
