The 19th Annual FallCon will be held at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul on October 6-7.
FallCon is Minnesota’s largest comic book convention. If you live near the Twin Cities, come check it out. It’s no Comic-Con (what else is?), but it is a well-organized event with big attendance and a lot of fun. This year the 501st Star Wars Club will be on hand. Their express purpose is “bringing together costume enthusiasts”, so expect to see lots of storm troopers.
Last year I spoke on a cartooning panel with a few other members of the National Cartoonists Society. From left to right: Me, Tom Richmond, Michael Jantze, and Jerry Van Amerongen:
As always dozens of artists and creators will be on hand, both national and local (here’s the official list). For several years now I’ve shared a table with some of them. Stop on by and say “hi”!
