One of Marvel Comics' most beloved characters will be represented by the actor who has played the big-screen role of the villain for more than a decade at an upcoming event southeast of Twin Falls, Idaho. Tickets for the comic book convention are on sale, and Gem State fans of Guardians of the Galaxy will want to make sure they have the day off.

The Hollywood adaptation of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book franchise hit movie theaters in 2014.

The stories' blue-skinned, ruthless, space pirate Yondu won over the hearts of fans of the comic book series and was portrayed by actor Micheal Rooker.
