Leave a comment
It’s baaaack! The Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival returns for its 8th year at the Clark County Library, with a day chock full of activities celebrating comic book culture, including panel discussions, workshops, a vendor marketplace, Artist Alley, food trucks, kids’ crafts, live music, film screenings and more!
This year’s scheduled guest line-up includes Jen Van Meter (Hopeless Savages), Chris Staros (Top Shelf Productions), Russell Lissau (Old Wounds), Dan Schkade (San Hannibal), Spencer Brinkerhoff III (Studios B3), Ben Saunders (University of Oregon) and Shannon Watters (BOOM! Studios), plus live music by The DoubleClicks and Molly Lewis.

General admission is FREE, but for your small donation of $5 (proceeds will benefit the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District Foundation), you’ll receive these VIP benefits:

  • VIP badge featuring exclusive artwork
  • Limited-edition poster
  • Swag bag featuring free goodies from some of your favorite publishers and creators
  • High-fives and warm fuzzies


 FAQs
Do I need a ticket to attend the event?
No. General admission to the Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival is free. But your VIP ticket helps support the free activities, and gets you some cool stuff in the process!

Is there an age limit to enter the event?
The Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival is open to all ages.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
It is very helpful to bring your ticket with you, either using the Eventbrite phone app, by showing your confirmation email on your mobile device, or having a printed ticket in hand. Because often people register children for this event, they don’t always have IDs, so having verification in the form of a ticket helps us make sure you get your goodies–and that no one else gets yours!
