It’s that time of year. The weather starts to get cooler (finally) and the state fair is behind us and we begin to get ready for ComiConway. For the sixth year, ComiConway will take place over an entire weekend featuring some of the biggest names in the graphic novel and the comics industry.
Once again, ComiConway will be hosted at the Conway Expo Center located at 2505 East Oak Street in Conway. Tickets are $5 for Saturday and Sunday and $3 fo Sunday.
ComiConway will have cosplay contests including Anime (Friday), Individual, Children 12 and Under, and Group Cosplay. There will be a Mini-Heroes Corner on Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday 11 am to 5 pm.
I sent Kara Rimmer Dyer, the director of ComiConway, a few questions which she graciously answered.
