The Hawthorne High School Comic Convention RETURNS!

 

New Jersey’s greatest comic book convention is back this May 9th. Hawthorne High School is proud to announce it’s 2009 comic convention. Featuring New Jersey’s greatest gathering of comic book creators the Hawthorne High School Cartooning Club will hold it’s 5th great convention. With great events like comic creating lessons by comic pros, an auction of original comic art, comic books and comic collectables and one of the best line ups of comic creators at any convention in the country the Hawthorne High Comic Convention is one of the great events in the world of comic fandom.

 

The convention is a spin off of the Ramapo High School Comic Con, one of the now legendary conventions of the 1980s & 90s. Run by Hawthorne High art teachers Allan Rosenberg and Danielle Russo and the wonderful students of the Cartooning Club, the convention is held as a fundraiser to supplement the art department’s budget, thus making it possible do even greater things for the art students of the high school.

 

This year’s convention is expanding the cartooning and art lessons to provide some great programming. Besides the usual cartooning and comic art lessons (examples: anatomy and page layout) there will also be programming in sculpting the heroic figure and creating your own comic.

 

As usual we are looking for a few good vendors. If you are interested in vendor tables at the show contact Allan Rosenberg @ alllal@aol.com.

 

The convention is a great family friendly event and a true bargain with a $4.00 entrance fee. The convention takes place Saturday May 9th from 10am – 4pm at Hawthorne High School, 160 Parmelee Avenue, Hawthorne, New Jersey 07506. It’s easily accessible by car or train.

 

Oh, we forgot to mention one last thing, our incredible line up of comic creators. This is the line up as of March 22, 2009 with more to come.

Anyone Going?

[Secret Son]

I might just swing by.

 

 

[HOTFLIPS]

I will see you there

[Old Fashion PB and J]

I may go to this!

 

Now if we can just get a SS witness to go.

[HOTFLIPS]

Yeah, was thinking about that too. There are so many artists that are going to be there it would probably be worth the trip for MK (Danny) to go. That all depends if he could get enough people to submit books.

[Old Fashion PB and J]

I would submit a few..

[HOTFLIPS]

PM him. Or maybe put this up in the SS section saying "Can I get a witness??"

[MutantKeys]

How far is this? Could I take a bus or train that'll leave me near by? I'd be happy to help
