Popular U.S. voice actor Troy Baker (“The Last of Us”), Grammy-nominated video game composer Austin Wintory (“Journey,” “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate “) and Japanese manga magazine editor Kazuhiko Torishima — who has been instrumental to shepherding the “Dragon Ball” franchise — are among the top guests set to attend Italy’s Comicon Napoli that will run April 30-May 3.

The international pop culture festival held in Naples, Italy, has also secured other prominent names in the global comics sphere such as Sony Pictures Animation production designer and concept artist Aurélien Predal, who helped shape the visuals for “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “Inside Out 2” and the “Despicable Me” saga (he also designed this year’s Comicon Napoli poster); Japanese manga artist Makoto Yukimura, best known for the sci-fi series “Planetes” and creating the Viking anime show “Vinland Saga”; and British comic book artist and writer Liam Sharpe (“The Green Lantern”).
