May 16-17, 2015: Indiana's best comics & art festival in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne! Appleseed Comic Con was founded with a singular purpose in mind: celebrate comics and the comics community.
Comics is an art form, and it is an art form that is supported by an incredible community. To that end, we have made the art of comics, and the creators responsible, the focus of the show. Appleseed Comic Con is proudly held every year at the Grand Wayne Center in downtown Fort Wayne, IN.
Operating as usual
Appleseed is going on hiatus. This was a really tough decision for me to me make, but I am walking way feeling that it was the right one. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the show. It meant the world!

Organizer Puts Fort Wayne's Appleseed Comic Con on Hiatus
Eggcellent.
If you were to pick up volume one of Ed Piskor's critically acclaimed comic series, Hip Hop Family Tree, flip it over, and examine the graffiti tagged on the subway cars rolling in the background, you may notice a familiar, green character adorning one of the sliding doors: Razzberry, the lizard fro…
Always listen to the art.
Relive the inky magic!
Dozens of comic book artists, writers, vendors, collectors and enthusiasts descended on Fort Wayne’s Grand Wayne Convention Center last weekend for Appleseed Comic Con 2015, and Indiana’s premier comics and art convention did not disappoint.

What a weekend! Thank you guys so much for being part of it--this year and those before it. It means a lot that you guys believe in and love this comic con as much as we do. Hugs all around!
Thanks for stopping by, WANE!
It's the sixth year Zack Kruse has been part of organizing a Fort Wayne comic convention. He says comics have the ability to tell us about our lives and who we are.
Stop by the Grand Wayne Convention Center for jaw-dropping art, riveting panel discussions, and limited edition pieces. You can also get your photo taken with the 501st. We are here until 5p. Hope to see you!
Thank you for a great first day, folks! We hope to see you again tomorrow!
The wild rumpus has begun! Scads of art, storytellers, comics, and tomfoolery--you don't want to miss this show.
Man, we need one of these for Captain Kruse this weekend. (Like he ever sits down at Appleseed. Ha!)
When will Adam Savage not live the life every nerd wishes he or she could? Hopefully that answer is never, because then we wouldn't be able to swoon over such feats of fandom as building Captain Kirk's chair in one day. If there was anything I remember wanting the most as a young Star Trek fan, it w…

"[N]ot only should we relish the very fact that we’re alive, we should make an effort to leave things better than we found them." Peek behind the curtain at the Wizard of Appleseed.
FORT WAYNE — A love of comic books, a knack for marketing and a love of teaching led Busco native Zack Kruse down an offbeat path to becoming a university instructor, an organizer of one of the state’s largest comic book conventions and a comic book writer.

We're taking over the world! *Mr. Burns finger tenting* Mwahahahaha!
Why are superheroes resonating so strongly? Are they worthy of the attention? The cultural critic dons his fanboy cape and goes in search of some answers.
Nnnargh hgraoo rrhaa!
"We're home."
OK, these are pretty bad ass. "The support and love that the Cosplay community has for one another is something I’ve never experienced before in my entire life. You walk into a room and even people you don’t know treat you like they’ve known you your entire life. It really is magical."
What's your secret identity?
So many good books on this list, not to mention the graphic novels.
Three comics — Persepolis, Saga and Smile — were among the 10 most frequently challenged books last year in U.S. public schools and libraries, according to the American Library Association. This appears to be the most comics to make the [...]

Art for a good cause! The comics community is full of some huge-hearted folks.
To support Wilfredo Torres and his family following the death of his wife, several comics creators have decided to raise funds by auctioning off pieces of art.
Many of you reading this have the creative chops for this project. If you've got the time... Deadline is April 20.
A picture's worth a thousand words (and maybe a thousand euros) on the 20th anniversary of a gender equality milestone
Nope. Not true in the slightest. Even a teensy bit at all. ;)
You've gotta get something out of it other than a staff discount and a hernia.
In light of this RFRA ruckus... #WeLoveYouAll #ComicsForEveryone
Some like girls. Some like boys. Some are into sci-fi. Others prefer comedy. All are very into comics. The following artists and creatives identify as queer, among other labels, like, for example, comic, illustrator, storyteller and write...
