Join us in celebrating the creativity of comics, graphic novels, and fandoms at the inaugural Norfolk Library Comicon!
This decompressed comicon is a family-friendly week of events. Throughout the week, the library will host comic authors and artists, workshops, and games, culminating on Saturday with a Celebration in the Park!
Guests and activities featuring Dr. Lydia Kang (Star Wars), Bob Hall (Marvel, DC, Valiant), Do Art Productions, Bruce Arant (Nebraska illustrator), the 501st Legion, Ghostbusters Nebraska, comic book workshops, wand making, LARPing, D&D, gaming, escape rooms, costume construction, cosplay parade, vendors and more!
All events are free! Some workshops may require registration due to limited seating. Check our website calendar for details and to sign up for workshops. All events are at the library except for the Celebration in the Park, which will be held at Johnson Park.
PLUS: Are you a collector or retail vendor of comic and gaming-related merchandise? We are looking for vendors to participate in our Celebration in the Park. Apply at www.norfolkne.gov/library by June 1 to be considered!
