Akron Comicon is an annual event established to help promote newspaper-comics and comic-books as an original American art form and viable entertainment medium by bringing comic creators, dealers, fans and hobbyists together for a weekend of fun designed for the entire family.

Our slogan—Fans First! Fans Always!—is a statement about us. Our slogan characterizes our personal commitment to keeping the “comic” in “comicon”—a show about comics for fans of comics!

While our slogan acts as the foundation for Akron Comicon, the structure of the show is characterized in the statement: Celebrating Comics Past—Comics Present—and Comics Future!
