Search upcoming 2026 comic conventions, collector shows, and creator signings. Filter by date, ZIP code, city, state, or event features across the US and Canada.
Finding the right comic con shouldn't require hours of Googling. Whether you're hunting for a massive multi-day convention with celebrity guests, a specialty back-issue show with dealer tables stacked with Silver Age keys, or a small creator signing at your local shop, a good finder should surface the right events for your dates and location.
ComicStoresNearMe's event database pulls from Eventbrite, direct organizer submissions, and community reports. Unlike ticketing sites that only show their own events, this finder covers every verified comic convention, show, and signing across North America — free events, dealer-only shows, regional cons, and major conventions alike.
Choose a rolling window (next 30/60/90 days) or pick a specific month from the calendar. Perfect for planning travel around a convention.

The best comic cons have 50+ dealer tables covering a mix of new releases, back issues, graded slabs, and original art. Smaller cons with 10-20 dealers are still worth attending for the community, but don't expect deep back-issue inventory.
Conventions with CGC on-site grading let you submit comics for professional grading without shipping. Huge value — saves shipping costs, insurance, and waiting time. These events are marked with the "CGC on-site" filter.
Major cons bring in working artists and writers for signings. Some require a pre-purchased ticket or "photo op" fee, others are free with admission. Check each con's website before attending.
Some cons specialize in original comic art — interior pages, covers, sketches. If you collect OA, look for events tagged "Original art" and attend early — the best pieces sell on day one.
Dedicated back-issue shows (as opposed to general pop-culture cons) attract serious collectors hunting for Silver Age and Bronze Age keys. Less celebrity-focused, more deal-focused. Often the best place to find bargains.
