Robot Chicken is partnering with Kentucky Fried Chicken this year at San Diego Comic-Con. They are working together to promote a new series of shorts in which KFC mascot Colonel Sanders joins the Robot Chicken on an epic space adventure. This series will play out over the next four months, debuting on July 9th both at comic con and on TV. Free custom-created Robot Chicken t-shirts and KFC $5 Fill Ups will be provided for comic-con attendees.

The Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego, next to the convention center, will have seven life-sized statues of Colonel Sanders in various cosplay outfits. These statues have free wifi and they will take you to a site with exclusive Robot Chicken content. Robot Chicken will also be awarding prizes to fans who post pictures of these statues on social media. Using the hashtag #ColonelSanders can get you a free Robot Chicken t-shirt.

Friday July 10th will also have Colonel Sanders cosplayers distributing copies of the new Colonel Sanders graphic novel. This new book KFC Presents: The Colonel's Adventure Comics is a history of Harland Sanders told in the style of a superhero origin story. The comic depicts early events in Colonel Sanders' life that eventually led to the discovery of his real super power: the combination of a pressure cooker and secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, better known as his world-famous Original Recipe® Chicken.
