This weekend, come check out the first ever East L.A. Comicon!

The EAST LA Comic Con was founded in 2016 by a group of life long comic and pop culture fans who grew up and live in East Los Angeles. Headed by Peter J Mellini, owner of Nostalgic Books and Comics in San Gabriel CA, this first of its kind show is dedicated to bringing an epic pop culture experience for all that reflects the fans of the surrounding communities.

This year's event is on Saturday May 20th at the El Gallo Plaza, 4545 East Cesar E Chavez Avenue, East Los Angeles, CA 90022.
