Dallas Comic Show

Dallas Comic Show is a family-friendly event with comic book creators, celebs, cosplay, Anime and more for pop culture fans around the DFW area.
(58)

is an affordable and accessible alternative to the larger costly "Comic Con" events, with a strong focus on comics and fan interaction - a family-friendly event in the DFW area featuring exciting comic book and media guests, costumed characters, gaming and Anime content. With multiple sjows each year, this is a great pop culture experience for the whole family. This convention was

put together by Mark Walters, who ran the Dallas Comic & Toy Fest (aka "Dallas Comic Show") from 2000 to 2002, and managed the "Dallas Comic Con" events from 2002 to 2014 until that brand was sold by the owners. Our mission with DALLAS COMIC SHOW is to bring back an affordable pop culture convention experience to the DFW area, something everyone can enjoy and embrace without breaking the bank. This is show run by fans and done for fans. We are here to make sure you have fun. Our inaugural shows were held at the Richardson Convention Center - in the Spring of 2016 (April 23-24) and in late Summer 2016 (August 6-7). Our third event was at the Irving Convention Center on February 11-12, 2017, and our fourth back at the Richardson Civic Center on September 16-17, 2017. In 2018 we had two fun events happening, August 25-26, and November 17-18. In 2019, we had three shows - the first April 6-7 in Richardson, then August 10-11 in Lewisville, TX, and finally November 23-24 in Richardson. In 2020, due to Coronavirus concerns, we decided to go on hiatus and not attempt public gatherings, which in hindsight was probably for the best. In 2021, the Dallas Comic Show returns with THREE scheduled events - the first being a single-day show on June 26, the second a two-day show August 21-22, and the third being November 6-7, and all three events will be held at the Music City Mall in Lewisville, TX. We hope to see you there!

11/18/2024

Hey gang, got some important news you need to know for DALLAS COMIC SHOW’s Holiday Special this November 23-24, 2024. Normally we’re located in the center court of The Vista Shopping Center, but that space was double-booked, and we’ve temporarily moved to a new spot… but it’s a nice one, very well-lit and spacious.

The show next weekend will be located inside the former CitiTrends store, which is located on the upper level of the mall, directly above the Cinemark theater from the inside. There are TWO ways to get to our new spot. All of the mall entrances are numbered. You can either park on the back side of the mall at Entrance #4, which is on the upper level, come inside and go to the left, and you can’t miss us. OR you can park on the front side of the mall at Entrance #5, which is on the lower level to the left of Zion Market, come inside and take the BIG elevator (right in front of the Cinemark) up, and we’re right there.

We’ve made a quick 3-minute video that explains this, it’s worth watching to give you an idea of what to expect. Just remember when you arrive, if you go to the usual center court location, we will NOT be there - there will be an event going on there, but it isn’t us. While inside the mall, we are located directly above the Cinemark entrance. So use either Entrance #4 on the back side of three mall, or Entrance #5 on the front side and take the elevator up.

So… bad news, good news. This of course HAD to happen right after we just printed a new flyer that’s gone out everywhere. We were informed today that Francois Petit is dealing with health issues and is unable to travel, he actually had to cancel an appearance last weekend, and his doctors are saying he needs more time. We just saw Francois in August and he was REALLY looking forward to joining us. We’re wishing him a speedy recovery, and it’s our hope we can have him back as soon as he’s able.

Now, the GOOD news. We’ve been working all day on this and finally got it done, and we’re very happy to announce what we think is a great replacement - please welcome the man who played Reptile in MORTAL KOMBAT 1995, Sub-Zero in MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION, and has starred in CHINA O’BRIEN I and II, NATIONAL SECURITY, BEVERLY HILLS NINJA, and STAR WARS: THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT… the amazing Keith Cooke is joining us for DALLAS COMIC SHOW’s Holiday Special this November 23-24, 2024 at The Vista Shopping Center in Lewisville! Keith will be appearing both days of the show, and will join fellow MK star Chris Casamassa for his show Q&A and as part of the special Saturday night (Nov 23rd) screening of MORTAL KOMBAT at the historic Texas Theatre. More on Keith here - https://www.dallascomicshow.com/keithcooke/

We’re sorry Francois can’t make it, we were very much hoping to welcome him back next week, but we’re hoping fans will be excited to meet Keith for his first time with us, and rest assured we will have Francois back as soon as he’s better.

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..
