SAN DIEGO — Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Ozzy Osbourne is set to make his debut at San Diego's Comic-Con International next week. It will be the first public appearance by the 73-year-old heavy-metal vocal legend since before he underwent major neck and back surgery in Los Angeles in mid-June.
Osbourne's July 22 Comic-Con debut at the San Diego Convention Center will be a joint appearance with legendary comic-book maverick Todd McFarlane, who in 1992 created the popular "Spawn" series.
McFarlane has made key contributions in recent decades to Marvel Comics' "Spider-Man" and "Incredible Hulk." He recently directed the video for the title track of Osbourne's upcoming new album, "Patient No. 9."
