In addition, the event will feature a second 50th anniversary reunion of original cast members from the hit TV Series Good Times, featuring Jimmie Walker (J.J. Evans), Bern Nadette Stanis (Thelma Evans) and Ralph Carter (Michael Evans).

Additionally, musician Micky Dolenz from The Monkees, renowned Marvel Comics artist Greg Land (Fantastic Four, Uncanny X-Men) and recording artist and voice actress Samantha Newark (Jem & The Holograms) will also be on-hand to sign autographs and host fan meet-and-greets.

“Remember when we were kids watching TV, and we never thought we would get a chance to meet our favorite stars?” asked Chris Dyer, Founder of Gallatin Comic Con. “At GCC, I have strived to create more than just a comic con, but a place where fans can come to make memories that last a lifetime. You can’t put a price on good memories. It is our hope that you will come and meet the Happy Days & Good Times cast on the 50th anniversary of both of their shows!”

In partnership with Fandom Spotlite, an online news source for comic book and cos-play enthusiasts, the panel discussions will be moderated and curated by Fandom Spotlite’s Kyle Williamson, a veteran comic con guest panel moderator.

Tickets are on sale now for only $20 for a single-day pass or $25 for a weekend pass, and can be purchased here.
