Welcome to the Great Lakes Comic Convention
What started as a small/local comic book and toy show in 2010 has grown over the years to become what you see today - a regional show with high-profile guests from both the comic book and media industries, being attended by thousands of people annually!
We are very proud to have
celebrated the 10th year of the
Great Lakes Comic Convention!
We could not have gone this far without all of our fans and supporters - we're talking about people like you!

In February 2020, we made a tremendous effort to bring back guests from each year of the Great Lakes Comic Convention! Although we weren't able to bring back every single guest, we felt that we have a fantastic guest representation of what the Great Lakes show is all about.
Scroll down through the years below to learn more about each year's
