November 2: Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival

The Library District is bringing together local and national artists and writers, comic book shops, cosplayers, and crafts makers for the 16th Annual Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival.

You can celebrate all things comics by:

• Diving into panels and workshops, music from BLACKROS3, a documentary about the “Star Wars Holiday Special,” signings, and photo ops.
• Visiting vendors in the artist alley and courtyard marketplace to check out comics, artwork, toys, crafts, and one-on-one encounters between comics readers and comics makers.
• Suiting up as your favorite character and meet cosplayers from Critical Care Comics, Saber Guild - Nar Shaddaa Temple, and the Las Vegas Avengers (note: please leave the weapons at home!).
• Immersing yourself in Padawan training and celebrate 85 years of Batman with our Caped Crusader themed escape room.
• Making pool noodle lightsabers, superhero face masks, and more in our Kids Courtyard and get body art by Magic Wand Face Painting.
