After taking a COVID break in 2020, Big River Comic Convention is back in Hannibal to welcome a beloved character from the Addams Family.

Felix Silla is coming to Big River Comic Convention April 23rd and 24th. You might not recognize him because you’re accustomed to seeing him obscured in a cascade of hair. Silla is best known for his role as Cousin Itt on the Addams Family. He also played Twiki on Buck Rogers and an Ewok from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
