The event is fun for all ages and a celebration of comic books, movies, Fantasy & Sci-Fi, superheroes, collectibles, and more. Just what makes Silver Comic Con different from the usual Comic Con? In a nutshell, it’s pop culture with a touch of intimacy. Get your mind out of the gutter… not that kind of intimacy. At Silver Comic Con, you won’t feel like you’re herded like cattle. Instead, it is a more personal, thus “intimate” experience. Silver Age Comic Con is a convention where “there are no strangers, just friends we haven’t met yet.” Discover more and purchase your tickets at SilverAgeComicCon.com.
