About Baltimore Comic-Con

At the eagerly anticipated show, collectors can look forward to a bustling Artist Alley and a plethora of exhibitors and dealers offering a treasure trove of comics and other collectibles.

"This is such a great thing for Baltimore," said Marc Nathan, Show Promoter for the Baltimore Comic-Con. "There are so many great comic book stores in the Baltimore area since the beginning of fandom, and, as such, there are great collections in the area. Great books are out there. Our guest list is so strong, so it's also great for CGC Signature Series on-site grading. Want every issue of Hush to be signed by Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb? Every issue of Red Hulk by Frank Cho, Art Adams, and Jeph Loeb? You can do both and so much more at our event this year!"
