ISLAND Con shifted into turbo gear with their latest guest announcement.

Joining the line up at Cowes Enterprise College in October is Walter Jones, the original black Power Ranger — and the only Power Ranger at the event. This year is also the 25th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Walter is internationally known for his creation of the character Zach The Black Ranger.

Walter, born in Detroit Michigan, overcame drugs and violence in his local neighbourhood to build a successful career in the entertainment industry. He has featured as a series regular or guest star in over 150 episodes of various shows, including The Shield and Moesha and regularly works as a voice actor.

He will join Sean Astin Sean, Joseph Pantoliano, Sylvester McCoy and Ethan Phillips in Cowes on October 20 and 21. Tickets are available on the Island Con website.
