On Saturday, May 15, 2010, beautiful downtown Asheville, NC will play host to FANATICON, a celebration of comic book culture and its fans. The event will take place at the Asheville Art Museum and will feature local comic book vendors, artists, panel discussions and special guests.

FANATICON is a labor of love by an enthusiastic team of local comic book and pop culture fans. We are very excited about producing a fun and successful convention that will hopefully continue annually for years to come!
