Find out in this illuminating panel hosted by Greg Matiasevich.

Secrets from the International Spy Museum: Real-World Espionage Tech and Comic Books
Saturday September 26, 2026 12:00 pm to 12:45 pm | Room: 337

From Agent Carter to Secret Agent X-9, espionage and spies have been integral to comic book storytelling, and the exotic gadgets and weapons they use have been pivotal to the stories being told. The same importance exists with real-world spies, but the technologies today bear little resemblance to spy tech of the past. This session will feature experts and affiliates including Ron Marz (writer, Green Lantern/Silver Surfer), Mark S. Zaid (national security attorney, comic book historian, International Spy Museum Advisor), Adam Leslie (co-founder of Real Spy Comics, and former intelligence professional), and more!
