Free State Comicon provides a low-cost venue for local comic book writers and artists to showcase their work to fans. The event also provides a central location for local and regional exhibitors to do business. Its mission is to provide great entertainment value to fans and to share the culture of comicon, Koltz said. The Free State Comicon will take place at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $5.
"With the show so close to Halloween this year, we are really hoping to see some interesting cosplay," Klotz said.
"Every year's event is different from the last year's event," Klotz said. "We will have different exhibitors with different merchandise, different comic creators, all with new and interesting
projects that they love to talk about, different cosplay characters and different fans."
Comicon is known for its unique attendees. Klotz said it is nationally known as the "Fanfest of Nerds" where comic books fan are able to enjoy themselves by dressing up as their favorite cosplays and enjoy the environment of Comicon with other avid fans.
Craig Klotz, of Kansas City Fan Conventions, talks to convention attendees at 2013 Free State Comicon. Klotz said the proximity of this year's event to Halloween will hopefully lead to interesting costumes.
The characters from Star Wars or Star Trek have always been most popular at every Comicon, Klotz said. In the last few years, Free State Comicon has seen several of the characters from Doctor Who and Adventure Time.
"I like to be surprised, so my favorites are usually the ones you don't expect," Klotz said. "I'm kind of hoping to see a Rocket Raccoon roaming the convention floor this year after 'Guardians of the Galaxy' came out in the theater this year."
Joel Sanderson, a web developer at the University for Liberal Arts & Sciences and a comic book writer, will be a featured guest at Free State Comicon for his main work as Gunther Dedmund, a host of the local TV show, "The Basement Sublet of Horror." This will be his fourth straight appearance as a featured guest
at the event.
The event will also feature Richard Chamberlain, a writer for the blog "Monster Movie Kid" from Kansas City, Kan. Chamberlain specializes in horror films and creature features. He will attend the show to promote his blog, but is also the lead writer for another publication of Sanderson's comic that will make its debut at the show: "The Basement Sublet of Horror" magazine issues 1 and 2.
"Like-minded lovers of popular culture gathering to see and be seen, to meet and get sketches and autographs from those who create the comics, to talk about everything from 'Agents of Shield' to 'Walking Dead', and to find fun and unique merchandise that can only be found at a show like this," Klotz said. "Oh, and thousands upon thousands of comic books."
convention, everyone has the potential to be an instant friend.
Though some fans are afraid to put themselves out there at the event, Klotz said at a comic

After the fashion show, three bands will play: OILS, Psychic Heat and La Guerre and a DJ, Gold Label Soul with Hector the Selector on the patio. Katrina Weiss, from Lincoln, Neb., producer of the event and employee at Arizona Trading Company, has previously modeled in Fashion Monsters shows. She said people love to dress up for
Halloween, and this event gives people an opportunity for a new Halloween tradition where people can dress up, see the show and have a good time.
Weiss said the event is geared towards the college crowd or people who work downtown — people around 21-30 years old which is a completely different audience than most charity events.
