"The work that this great group of people (do) is truly amazing," the page added, referring to Iron Gate's mission. "We have been to several of their events, and seeing how they rehabilitate these animals after abuse or neglect is heartwarming."

One of this year's special guests will be Robert Brown, an artist known for his work with DC and Marvel. Cartersville Comic Con notes Brown is best known for his work with Chaos Comics on various titles and characters such as The Undertaker and Evil Ernie.

You can also expect to check out a slew of vendors selling comic art, books, clothing and accessories, vintage and modern toys, action figures and, of course, comics.
