Help send the joy of comics to Africa!

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

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.

ROAD TRIP!

Monday, April 5th, 2010

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!
