Baltimore Comic Con Invades Charm City – Now on PopConMania.com

BALTIMORE - Oct. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Baltimore Comic Con – from the beginning and still at its core comic-centric – this year celebrated its 15^th anniversary, a point of particular pride and perhaps astonishment to its founder, Marc Nathan, owner of Cards, Comics and Collectibles in the Baltimore, Maryland, beltway community of Reistertown.

Thousands enjoyed marquee-name artists, writers, publishers, innovators, creators past and present who graced an inspired slate of panels. As well, movie and television actors and character interpreters – each in some way related to a comic-based production – extended the affair. The Artists Alley and Dealers Room, covering the cavernous basement, formed the pivot point for the entire affair, swarming with fans poring over new publications, back issues, posters, limited edition collectibles, wearable art, DVDs, the tangible remembrances and public expressions of affinity. “What I like about it is it’s very artist and writer driven,” said one vendor. “Where else do you see people waiting in line for two hours to meet an artist? We have some dedicated fans here.”
