Community
This is your show.
The Southside Comic Book Show isn't just one day a year. We're a year-round community of collectors, readers, artists, and fans rooted in Chicago's south side. Pull up a chair.
More than a convention.
We started because we wanted a show that felt like ours — not a corporate event, not a destination trip, but a neighborhood gathering for people who love comics. That spirit carries through everything we do, all year long.
Year-Round
We're active between shows — sharing news, spotlighting collectors, and keeping the conversation going.
South Side Roots
We're proud to be a Chicago south side institution. This community reflects where we come from.
Everyone Welcome
New reader or lifelong collector, you belong here. No gatekeeping, no snobbery — just comics.
collector's Spotlights
Every few weeks we shine a light on someone from our community — their collection, their story, and what comics mean to them. These are the people who make this show worth doing. check back soon for more.
The Tinley Park Convention Center was the perfect venue. Everyone I spoke with, vendors and customers alike, loved the center!

Thank you so much for your invitation to the con, your constant communication, and for a great show! I was really pleased with the outcome and would love to do more events in the future as long as you’d have me!
