 One of the highlights of the event is a special livestreamed session co-presented by Ponjea. The top talent will draw the curtains back on the creative ins and outs behind his time travel fantasy, as well as the process leading to its adaptation into an animation.
 
 Comic-Con, established in 1970, is considered the world’s premier showcase for comic books and related popular art forms. In recent years, it has notched up event attendance numbers in excess of 130,000.
