Fort Collins Comic Con Returns August 27 & 28

Posted on August 3, 2022 by Katie Auman in Library Blog, Local Happenings, News

Calling all Grogus and baby Groots, Lady Thors and Wanda Maximoffs!

It’s time for Fort Collins Comic Con. The family-friendly Con returns to the Aztlan Community Center on Saturday, August 27 and Sunday, August 28 for two days filled with special guests, panel discussions, geeky gaming, the always-amazing Vendor Hall, and the coolest cosplay in NoCo!

Badge Sales Benefit the Library

After two years without an in-person Con, we’re anticipating a big crowd, so grab your badges early (and save some money). FoCo Comic Con donates proceeds from the badge sales to the Library to support children’s literacy and geek-friendly programs. Purchase your badge(s) online at www.FoCoComicCon.com.

Early Bird Prices

Ages 13+                              $20

Ages 6-12                             $10

Ages 5 and under             Free, but they still need a badge.

Badges (aka your ticket, admission) are good for the entire weekend and also includes TWO games of laser tag at Chipper’s Lanes!

Confirmed Special Guests

As of mid-July, the following special guests were confirmed for the Con. More guests are added every week, so check www.FoCoComicCon.com for updates and announcements.

John Rosengrant

Legacy Effects, Former Co-Owner

Legacy Effects is the visual effects house that’s worked on everything from Avatar to Ironman to Mandalorian. John created and puppeted Grogu (aka “Baby Yoda”) in Mandalorian and played three characters in The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Design and Operations Engineer

Pieter Kallemeyn is the leader of the InSight Spacecraft Team, which operates the lander from Lockheed Martin’s Mission Support Area in Denver.

Dr. Ben Cromey

Ball Aerospace, Optical Engineer

Ben Cromey is an optical engineer at Ball Aerospace in Boulder, Colorado, where he designs imaging systems and sensors for NASA missions.
