3rd annual Curious Comicon bringing free comics and high-profile artists to Nanaimo
NANAIMO — After a wildly successful year, Curious Comics in Nanaimo hopes to turn the Country Club Centre into a geek’s paradise for their third annual Curious Comicon.
Organizer Mike Drummond said it’s been a whirlwind of activity putting it together this year, with roughly 15 artists and 30 vendors taking over the mall on Saturday, May 6.
“It’s good stress, if there’s such a thing, because it’s going to drive more money into the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada,” he said.
The 2017 goal is to raise $6,500 for Children’s Wish through sales and a private auction. Last year they more than tripled their goal with a $3,500 total, in large part thanks to a signed print of the TV show The Flash, which was signed by members of the cast.
