Founded for the love of comic books, our first event was assembled in just under four months and happened on April 20, 2024 at the Christ Church Parish Hall at 61 Dundas Street in downtown Dartmouth.
Operating with a small budget and a lot of heart, we were able to fill 31 tables with vendors in just three days. These vendors carried all sorts of products like comic books, comic magazines, comic digests, manga, graphic novels, collected trade paperbacks and hardcovers. With comics available for sale from as far back as WWII, including many key issues and first appearances.
Our 3rd and most recent show brought us from 31 tables and 16 vendors on 1 floor at the first show to 61 tables and 30 vendors on 2 floors.
We strive to provide a safe and inclusive experience for comic book fans of all ages and preferences. A place for comic book collectors to find that special comic they need to finish a run, that key issue they've saved up for and couldn't find elsewhere, a chance to meet up and talk comics with like-minded fans
or a spot to meet comic creators to ask for signatures
on your favourite comic by them.
Comics aren't just for kids, they're for everyone!
"Back Issues Comicon was small but surprisingly mighty; the crowd was really engaged and I loved meeting folks that my work resonated with." - Kate Phillips, Comic creator
"In a short time, Back Issues Comicon has become one of the premier comic book collecting events in the Maritimes. If you are a comic book collector living in the region this event should be on your radar." - East Coast Toys and Games
"It's nice to meet people who are just as nuts about comics. Thanks!" - Sam
"This 3rd show in particular was awesome because we had more vendors that enriched the selection of comics available. I had a great time and am grateful to the organizers for such a great event. The shows are always organized, smooth, and easy as both a seller and buyer."
