This year, Pocket Con honors the life and legacy of the late Turtel Onli, the visionary behind the Black Age of Comics. That’s why this year’s logo features his iconic character Malcolm 10 alongside two youth β€” a tribute to how his work must continue to inspire the next generation.
πŸ–€ The artwork was beautifully illustrated by Anthony Piper, creator of the hit comic series Trill League. Follow him on Instagram @ant_piper!
