Be The Hero

Many early comic creators were often paid little for their work, and not allowed to keep their creations. That’s why the Akron Comicon is proud to be a charity supporter of the Hero Initiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping comic book creators, writers and artists in need.

Now’s your chance to be a hero, and help support the numerous talented individuals that spawned the fictional universes and characters we’ve come to know and love.

Exhibitors ... Assemble

Are you a comic shop or independent dealer looking to set up shop for the weekend? How about a creator, organization or club looking to expand your reach? No matter what your marketing and promotional goals are, the Akron Comicon has the right exhibitor space for you.

Keep in mind a floor plan doesn’t have an infinite number of square footage. Don’t be left out. Reserve your spot at the show today.

Be Part of The Action

The Avengers, the Justice League, the X-Men – if our favorite comic books have taught us anything, it’s that no one hero is as strong as a unified team of them.

The same principle applies to the Akron Comicon. As a non-profit organization, we’re always on the lookout for volunteers to help out in a variety of ways. Interested in making your mark? Please consider joining our talented team.
