RON, CONS,

AND THE 'RON CON'

 

From 'Beauty and the Beast' Conventions to the 2002 'Comic Con' in San Diego, Ron has never shirked at meeting his public - whether it's entertaining B&tB fans with his Marlon Brando impressions or delighting comic-book devotees with Hellboy's 'Aw, crap', Ron has enthralled thousands down through the years.
