New Comics Convention to be New Hampshire’s Biggest Pop Culture Event
Coming to Manchester in May 2011, the first ever New Hampshire Comic Con (NHCC) will be an event no fan of comics culture can miss. NHCC will be held at the Radisson Hotel on Elm Street in Manchester on May 8, 2011 from 10-5. At $20 a ticket (ages 12 and under admitted FREE!) NHCC is guaranteed to be a fun yet affordable way to kick off the summer season.
An impressive guest list is forming up, with industry veterans such as Stan Sakai and Peter David already on the bill. Plenty of events are planned, including demo sessions of upcoming video games and a comics movie marathon. Many of the area’s best comics retailers will be on hand with plenty of items for sale.
“We decided that it was time to really put New Hampshire on the map as far as comic conventions go,” says Glenn Roebuck, one of NHCC’s organizers. “There are many comic stores in the state and many fans who groan about having to travel out to Boston or New York to get to experience a big con. It’s time to prove that New Hampshire is a place that really loves comics.”
Governor John Lynch has released a statement about NHCC, hailing it as “what is sure to be a successful pop culture event that New Hampshire can be proud of.”
Fans can get their tickets by logging on to www.nhcc.com or by stopping in any of New Hampshire’s comic stores (find a store near you at www.comicshoplocator.com). The countdown to New Hampshire Comic Con begins today!
