Our Story
Dallas Comic Show is an affordable and accessible alternative to the larger costly events, with a strong focus on comic book creators and fan interaction. With multiple events each year, this is a great pop culture experience for the whole family. This convention was put together by Mark Walters, who was instrumental in the original Dallas Fantasy Fair from 1993 until that show ended in 1996 (working as second in command to the promoter Larry Lankford), ran the Dallas Comic & Toy Fest (aka "Dallas Comic Show") from 2000 to 2002, and managed the Dallas Comic Con and Sci-Fi Expo events from 2002 to 2014 until that brand was sold by the owners. Dallas Comic Show held two events at the Richardson Civic Center in 2016, one at the Irving Convention Center and one back in Richardson in 2017, one in Lewisville at the Premier Event Center in August of 2018, and another at the Richardson Civic Center in November of 2018. In 2019 there were multiple events planned, the first was at the Richardson Civic Center on April 6-7 (our “Spring Celebration”), the next was August 10-11 in Lewisville, TX at the Premier Event Center (our “Fantasy Festival”), and then we were back at the Richardson Civic Center on November 23-24 (our “Holiday Special”). As for 2020, thanks to Covid-19, we’re still figuring things out, but not to worry... we WILL return..
