The annual Black Comic Book Festival returns in January, this time virtually, and expanded from two days to four, all celebrating the rich tradition of Black comix with FREE panel discussions, film screenings, exhibit tables with top comic creators, comic book giveaways for kids and more.
The 9th Annual Black Comic Book Festival is January 13-16, it’s FREE to attend, and includes a tribute to Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, a workshop with Tim Fielder and his upcoming release INFINITUM, and launch event for Megascope with Jon Jennings, and more.
Since cosplay is also virtual this year, participants are invited to upload images or videos of their costumes. Thursday, Jan. 7 is the last day to do that.
