Anthracite Con

Anthracite Comic Con is Northeastern Pennsylvania’s premier celebration of comics, pop culture, and fandom. Bringing together comic creators, artists, writers, collectors, vendors, and fans of all ages, Anthracite Comic Con is a high-energy event packed with creativity, community, and fun. Inspired by the rich history and hardworking spirit of the Anthracite Region, our convention shines a spotlight on the art of storytelling — from legendary comic book heroes to today’s rising indie creators. Attendees can explore artist alley, shop exclusive collectibles, meet special guests, attend panels and workshops, and connect with fellow fans who share a passion for comics, gaming, cosplay, and all things pop culture. This year, Anthracite Comic Con is also proud to feature TCG Cardclash: Scranton, a competitive and fan-friendly trading card game event where players can battle it out, trade, collect, and celebrate the world of TCGs. Whether you're a seasoned tournament player or brand new to the hobby, Cardclash brings a whole new level of excitement to the convention floor. Whether you're a lifelong collector, a casual fan, or introducing your kids to their first comic book, Anthracite Comic Con is designed to be welcoming, family-friendly, and unforgettable. Join us as we celebrate imagination, creativity, and the power of comics right here in the heart of coal country.
