Gcon – Chicago’s Southside Comic Con

Another show added to our schedule.

Once again Gcon – Chicago’s Southside Comic Con will be taking place on September 25th. But, this time we will also be there.

Orland Park Civic Center
14750 S. Ravinia Ave
Orland Park, IL 60462

9:00AM – 2:00PM

“What started as an idea blossumed into reality. The shows began on October of 2011, our founder, Leo Guerrero, attended many conventions during the 1980’s when they were held in the loop at the Congress Hotel. It was a time that any collector could go get his/her favorite collectible and get a chance to meet any creative person from any comic book company.

G Connn, formally called T-C-S, started at the Holiday Inn of Midway Airport in a 2000 square foot room, and now has moved to the Orland Park Civic Center, which is 10,000 square feet of space. Dealers include comic shops, vintage toys, and all other memorabilia ranging from posters to statues are represented at each show. We strive to get as diversified an offering as we can so that you, the collector, can have more to choose from.

This latest show, which will take place on Sunday, September 30th, will have a lot of what collectors expect at a show: great dealers and easily accessible creators.”

Madison Comic Con 2022

Looks like we’ll be heading back to Wisconsin next month. We’ll have a table at the Madison Comic Con. All your Trading Card needs will be available. We’ll also bring along some other items that we think will get a good reaction from the attendees.

August 14th
10AM – 5PM

Monona Terrace Exhibit Hall
1 John Nolan Drive
Madison WI 53703

Adults are just $8 for a full day of fun, and kids 12 and under are FREE. But you don’t just get admission for that. Every person who attends Mighty Con gets a free comic book at the door to get their day started off right.

Sounds like a good deal to me. Plus, you get to come by and say Hi!
