Launched in 2009, this convention is devoted solely to a distinctly American art form, original comic art. It brings together collectors and enthusiasts to buy, sell, trade, network, and talk about the craft, without comic books or the bustle typical of massive conventions.

A very limited number of artist spots, usually one or two per show, are set aside for creators with Marvel or DC credentials.
