When and where is Fort Smith Comic Con?
2025 dates and location coming soon!

​​​

If this is a "Comic Con," where are all the comic book artists and vendors?

We love our indie and corporate comic artists! All of our amazing artists and vendors purchase space to appear at FSCC. We cannot force comic artists or vendors to appear - they have to purchase a table. If you'd like to see a specific comic artist appear, consider sponsoring them! Head to our Guests page for more info.

​

"Comic Cons" have been a catch-all phrase to include anime, gaming, and pop culture for almost 15 years now. The days of a pure comic con -rows and rows of floppies - are not a viable business model, nor have they been for over a decade. Come enjoy a wide variety of pop culture art and merchandise with us!

​

Absolutely not. Read our CDC approved Health & Safety Policy for more information​

If you have a Celebrity Guest you just HAVE to meet at FSCC, email us at Sponsorships@FandomEvents.org to set up payment to bring sponsor guest to the convention. While we appreciate recommendations, we are the largest independent convention company in the United States and are well connected with the entertainment industry - we have a solid grasp on which celebrities are available on our dates, what it costs to bring them, and how well they will do in our markets.  If you are adamant about meeting a specific guest at FSCC, you will need to personally sponsor the appearance.

  • There are literally hundreds of talented on-screen and voice actors, cosplayers, and entertainers. We cannot invite all of them every year, yes, even the one that is your absolute favorite.

Please trust that we took dozens of factors into consideration when choosing the Celebrity guest lineup.
