Lehigh Valley Comic Con arrives August 15

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Sun, 08/02/2009 - 8:46pm

Lehigh Valley Comic Con will be held Saturday, August 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Schnecksville Fire Company. Admission is $5 ($4 with college ID) and kids 12 and under are free.

The guests of honor include artists Joe Staton (Green Lantern, Scooby Doo, Justice Society of America) and Brian Kong (Star Wars, Lord of the Rings as well as illustrations for the Yankees, Mets and other Major League Baseball teams). According to their flyer, they'll have plenty of comics for sale (doh!), comic paraphernalia as well as games like HeroClix and Magic: The Gathering. You can learn more at www.lehighvalleycomiccon.com.

I've heard of the Lehigh Valley Comic Con before, but never attended one. The venue seems a little small (although I have to admit I've never been to the Schnecksville Fire Company to know how big that building is) but it could be worth checking out.

My Dad normally goes to this. He said it's a decent little con. I have a short list of things I'm looking for, so I'd definitely be interested in heading over this year.

If you're going, maybe I'll head over with you (it depends on how crazy my August stays, and whether I'm painting the gaming room in the next two weeks).

I'd certainly like to support a local convention if possible.
