The organizers of the Comic Con Igromir 2026 have begun announcing special invited guests. The first in the list of announced celebrities is comic book artist Ariel Olivetti, who will attend the festival for all four days, perform on stage, and meet fans to give autographs, as well as create individual sketches for a few lucky ones.

Olivetti is one of the top artists at Marvel and DC. The creator of comic series such as "Punisher: War Journal," "Incredible Hulk," "X-Men," "Venom," "Justice League," "Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight," and many others, he combines traditional techniques with digital drawing.

Recent works of Olivetti include covers for comic series like "Absolute Batman" for DC and "What If..." for Marvel. He plans to share more details about his new (including upcoming) projects during a fan meeting on the Author's Alley, where he will also answer questions about his life and career.

Ariel Olivetti was born on November 15, 1967, in Buenos Aires (Argentina). He drew his first comics for the Argentine magazine Fierro. In the USA, Olivetti made his debut in 1995 with the graphic novel "The Last Avengers Story" for Marvel, written by Peter David. Later, he became a regular artist on "Daredevil" and worked alongside writer Joe Kelly, as well as participating in the relaunch of the "X-Men" series in the mid-2000s, with a storyline created by Warren Ellis.

One of the key projects in Olivetti's career was the second volume of the "Punisher: War Journal" series, which he worked on with writer Matt Fraction.

Over the years, Olivetti has worked on series including "Incredible Hulk," "Thanos," "Cable," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Captain Marvel," "Venom: Space Knight," "Conan and the People of the Black Circle," and many others. For DC Comics, the artist illustrated comics such as "Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight," "Green Lantern," the crossover "Superman and Batman vs. Aliens and Predator," and more.

Comic Con Igromir will take place from December 3 to 6 at the "Timiryazev Center." The Author's Alley is a separate area of the festival where animators, comic book authors, and representatives of leading print (and digital) publishing houses will gather. The curator of this section is the Russian comic book publisher Bubble, with the support of which Ariel Olivetti's visit to Moscow will take place (last year, they invited comic artist Esad Ribic).

More details about the upcoming event can be found on the website and on social media.
