Galacticon will bring together over 50 vendors from local comic shops, online comic retailers, and independent sellers. Moreover, the show will feature comic writers, artists, letterers, and other creators from Maine and across the country. Visitors can expect to meet comic writers, get autographed copies of their favorite comics, meet artists, and buy comic books that complete your runs or fill a spot in your collection.
