ROCK COMIC CON promoters are also partnering with DENVER DRINK AND DRAW to bring professional cartoonists along with local and national artists into the fold, where they will make a visual splash with live art and competitions throughout both nights.
Celebrating its third year in the Mile High City, promoters at ROCK COMIC CON will continue their mission to help support charitable causes through a number of fund-raising and benefit opportunities supporting local and national artists alike. The 2014 Denver ROCK COMIC CON will provide proceeds from the event to Kirby4Heroes, the Hero Initiative and a brand new local Scholarship fund developed by ROCK COMIC CON to celebrate the behind-the-scenes efforts of Frank Romero and Charlie LaGreca for their work establishing the Comic Book Classroom and Denver Comic Con in Denver.

Total Ghost
Despite their roots as a fake internet band, Total Ghost has quickly become a very real band that hails from Denver, Colorado and performs under the fictional guise of German electrokraut pioneers. The comical nature of the two, Chön and Biktor and their dance music, powered by jumpy synths, marching bass kicks, and classic builds is threaded with comical call and response lyrics. Their first video, “Custom Birthday” gained over 55,000 views within six months of its YouTube release and their fourth music video, “Tour Life” was featured at the Festivus Film Festival, where it won the “Best Music Video” award. It’s music that rockets beyond its gimmick, and into the stratosphere of a giant space party (with lightning)!

Magic Cyclops
Magic Cyclops is a strange, funny and occasionally offensive rock ‘n’ roll character who is most well known for his raucous appearance on American Idol. He has DJ’d parties and clubs throughout Denver, competed in air guitar competitions all over the U.S. and made music — with the ‘almost-hit’ Unicorns in Space.

Daenerys and the Targaryens
Daenerys and the Targaryens come all the way to Denver from Westeros and the 7 Kingdoms where the Mother of Dragons will be burning up the stage. They are the first (and so far, only) Game of Thrones Punk Rock Band Experience that we know of and are sure to burst into dragon flames in our corporeal realm.
