Planet Comicon will feature a large exhibitor area! We have dealers coming in from across the country with a wide variety of collectibles for sale, including comic books (both new and old), comic related hardcover books and trade paperbacks, magazines, posters, prints, action figures and other toys, statues, t-shirts and other licensed apparel, costumes, magic accessories, trading cards, and other collectibles.

Come on out to Planet Comicon and find that tough item you have been wanting to add to your collection.

We also have plenty of vendors looking to BUY collectibles.  If you have comic books or other collectibles you would like to sell, particularly old, pre-1970 comic books (and better yet comics from the 1930s, 1940s or 1950s) bring them out to the show and you can sell them to one of our vendors!

Planet Comicon is now on Twitter. Go to http://www.twitter.com/planetcomicon. We will announce regular convention updates on twitter (basically any time there is something interesting to announce) and we welcome suggestions regarding the convention.  You may follow "PlanetComicon" and get updates (and maybe find out a little more about what I (the promoter) am doing at a given time than you ever wanted to know)
Exhibitor Space for retailing and Artists Alley space to showcase your own creations is available. See the Exhibitors/Dealer link or write to us at Planet Comicon Information

Planet Comicon is held at the:

Overland Park International Trade Center
6800 West 115th Street
Overland Park, KS 66211
Telephone number (913)451-7691


This is near 115th & Metcalf, and essentially just behind Jo-Anne Fabric & Craft store and what was formerly CompUSA.

It is NOT held at the Overland Park Convention Center near I-435 and Nall, which is connected to the Sheraton Hotel. DO NOT get confused.
If you have any questions about the location, please feel free to write or call the promoter.

Please note, however, that the guest list is subject to change at any time as guests may cancel due to personal or professional conflicts. We rarely have a guest cancel, however it is always a possibility. Please check the web-site for updates as any changes will be reflected on the site in a timely manner. You may also call or e-mail the show promoter for updates.
