BOSTON COMIC CON - THE LARGEST COMIC BOOK AND POP CULTURE CONVENTION IN NEW ENGLAND!
Artists - Boston Comic Con was created by comic book fans – for comic book fans. This year's event continues that tradition and commitment. Our line-up of guest artists features the most talented comic creators in the world and represents a portfolio unmatched by any other comic book convention – in New England or elsewhere. As a result, leading comic book creators regard Boston Comic Con as one of the best, if not the best, comic book and comic book art-centered shows in North America.
Cosplay - Cosplay is an integral part of comic cons everywhere. With our pre-event Cosplay Parade at Faneuil Hall, our Kid's Cosplay Contest, our Cosplayer guest list and, most importantly, our famed Annual Costume Contest, Boston Comic Con takes it to a whole different level. And now, new this year, we're launching CosSpace – a dedicated area and event feature for all things cosplay.
So whether you're an engaged cosplay participant, or a fascinated observer, Boston Comic Con is the place to be.
