Prism Comics, the nonprofit championing LGBTQ+ visibility, diversity and inclusion in comics, graphic novels and popular media, presents Q Con, Southern California’s newest LGBTQ+ comic con on Saturday, June 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Fiesta Hall in Plummer Park, 1166 North Vista St.

Last year, Prism Comics held the first annual Q Con to great success with over 900 people attending.  This year’s Q Con will once again celebrate the amazing diversity of LGBTQ+ comics, games, and popular media today and will be expanded with panel presentations on various comics topics. Attendees will be able to meet creators from indie comics to major publishers, get autographs and sketches, and mix with other comics fans. Attendees are encouraged to cosplay their favorite characters with a fun and festive Costume Contest being held at 3:30 p.m.

Q Con is free to the public and family friendly, providing pre-teens through adults with the opportunity to find a wide variety of comics and graphic novels affirming LGBTQ+ representation at one exciting, colorful event.

Q Con is supported by a grant from the city of West Hollywood’s arts division as part of

the city’s WeHo Pride LGBTQ Arts Festival (May 22-June 30). For information, visit weho.org/pride. For information on Q Con, visit qconprism.org.
