ICON Festival of Comic & Narrative Arts is a Los Angeles event celebrating comic art, visual storytelling, and the artists who create it. Held November 7–8, 2026, at the historic Biltmore Los Angeles, the festival brings together artists, collectors, and storytellers, offering visitors the chance to meet exhibiting artists and build their collections. The program features The Art of Alex Ross, an exhibition of more than 100 original works exploring heroes and villains from the DC and Marvel universes through character portraits. The festival’s inaugural edition is presented by the team behind the Lake Como Comic Art Festival and Hawaii Comic Art.

Visitors can choose from Sunday passes, weekend passes, and VIP passes. Weekend admission includes Saturday and Sunday access, a festival poster, and a collector’s swag bag. VIP admission adds access to the Friday opening reception and Saturday special event, along with a signed Alex Ross ICON Angel fine art lithograph and the weekend benefits.
