Kid’s Comic Con is a wonderful vehicle through which kids and adults learn more about making and enjoying comics. Kid’s Comic Con has taken place in Bronx, NY since 2007 and their roadshow was a wonderful part of the B&ECPL Comic Con last year. Now Kid’s Comic Con has been invited to take their show on the road to…AFRICA! But they need help in raising the funds to get there. If you’d like to help spread the joy of comics to Africa, click here to learn more and donate:

AND

the Buffalo Comic-Con in mid-to-late October. (psst! you’re not going to want to miss it!)

Need another reason to travel, Buffalonians? Head on up to Toronto the weekend of May 8-9, 2010 and catch the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. All events take place in Toronto’s flagship library, the Toronto Reference Library and are free to the public (unless otherwise noted). There’s no reason NOT to go!

 Featured guests include Daniel Clowes and Jeff Lemire, as well as 200 other artists and exhibitors showing off their work.

Did I mention it’s all free?!?

If you’re up for a road trip, you should check out the C2E2, or, Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo from Friday, April 16 - Sunday, April 18. With 170 panels, screenings and special events happening, you’re bound to find something in the schedule that suits you. One of the most exciting events is An Evening with Neil Gaiman, where he will perform theatrical readings of both old and new material. Gaiman hasn’t performed in this capacity in over ten years, so this is surely something you will not want to miss!

Hurry! Get your tickets now!
