Those who live in the New York area or plan to be around there later this month might be interested to know author R.L. Stine will be appearing at this year’s Undiscovered Realm Comic Con for one day only. Stine does not make public appearances very often, so if you’ve always wanted to get your ratty copy of Night of the Living Dummy signed, this could be your one chance.
You know who Stine is, right? Don’t give me the “I’m too young” excuse…yes, he was most popular in the 90s but his works have a presence in the media to this day. “Fear Street: Prom Queen” just debuted on Netflix and Disney+ recently put out a new Goosebumps TV series.
Since creating Fear Street in the late 80s and Goosebumps in the early 90s, the latter has sold over 400 million copies, making it the second best-selling book series of all time. Fear Street hasn’t quite clocked those numbers despite existing longer, but a lifetime total of over 80 million copies is nothing to scoff at either. Both series have also generated a ton of merch over the decades, though there was a pause in the late 90s due to a dispute over licensing rights.
R.L. Stine will appear Sunday June 22nd at Undiscovered Realm Comic Con. Meet and greet opportunities with him are not covered by the price of the convention ticket; you’ll need an additional R.L. Stine Experience Ticket to be granted access (this is standard for celebrity appearances at cons, so don’t blame Stine). The ticket grants you:
Get there early — the Signing and Photo session will take place from 11am – 1:30pm only. The panel will follow from 2 PM to 2:45 PM upstairs in the Panel Theater. Attendees beware….you’re in for a scare!
