Portland, Maine, is going to celebrate comic books, for the first time ever, during Coast City Comicon, this weekend.
As part of the three-day event, cryptozoology will be part of what is happening. Todd and Craig from The Perhapanauts, a cryptid-themed comic (the Dover Demon is their cryptoid fact-checker) will be in attendance doing signing and sketches, plus they will be doing a panel with famed cryptozoologist Loren Coleman about cryptids in comics and beyond! In 2004, racing through the pages of Swamp Thing #7 and #8, Loren was depicted as “Coleman Wadsworth,” cryptozoologist, in a story is by Will Pfeifer and art by Richard Corben.
Cryptozoology fans, comic book geeks, gaming freaks and fanatical con nerds of all ages, shapes and sizes will be fist-bumping with delight over “Maine’s First Real Con” being hosted by Coast City Comics from November 11 – 13, 2011. The comiccon mother ship will be the Eastland Park Hotel, with off-site locations for raving and raging against the machine. You don’t have to go to San Diego to get your con-fix because you stay here with a 3-day pass for just $10.
