Six Million Dollar Man making first convention appearance in more than 30 years at Big Apple Con

Lee Majors (Steve Austin from The Six Million Dollar Man), along with Battlestar Galactica’s Mary McDonnell, “Batman” Adam West, “Robin” Burt Ward, and the Brady Bunch kids, are among the headliners for Wizard World Big Apple Comic Con, taking place from October 1-3, 2010 at Manhattan’s Penn Plaza Pavilion.

According to Wizard World, promoters of the event, Big Apple Con will mark the first convention appearance for Lee Majors in 30 years.

Majors is most famous for his role as Col. Steve Austin in The Six Million Dollar Man, which ran from 1974-1978, after a successful 1973 tele-film. He played an astronaut and test pilot who’s severely mutilated in a test plane crash, but rebuilt and equipped with nuclear powered bionic limbs and an eye implant – all making him “better…stronger…faster.”
