Grammy-winning artist Shaboozey will make his San Diego Comic-Con International 2026 debut to promote his new comic series, The Outlaw Cherie Lee.
The country music singer launched his career with the Billboard chart-topping song “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which earned him five Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year.
Now, he’s branching his country influences onto the page with the comic series The Outlaw Cherie Lee.
The country music singer will make two separate appearances at SDCC 2026, with a panel and a signing on Friday, June 24.
In a collaboration with Funko, Shaboozey will be at the Funko Village, booth #5341, on the exhibit floor to sign copies of The Outlaw Cherie Lee. Copies of the first of three issues will be sold exclusively at the Funko Booth prior to the nationwide release. He will be signing on the floor beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Later Friday night, he will be the featured guest for a live podcast and panel with Get Rec’d With Straw Hat Goofy (LIVE) from 7 to 8 p.m. in room 6BCF. In this special episode, podcaster and fandom influencer Juju “Straw Hat Goofy” Green will interview Shaboozey with a live audience to discuss his comic book debut. Also, they will be discussing the anticipated new album of the same name, which will be released on July 31st.
