My family is taking a short vacation in June to visit the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. I just noticed that our trip overlaps with the 2023 Niagara Falls Comic Con. I’m thinking about stopping by for a couple hours on June 10th and was wondering if anyone had previous experience with this convention and/or is planning on attending this year.

Yup, been to the show a few times.

what would you like to know?

I’m mostly interested in seeing if this is a decent convention for comic collectors versus a conference dominated by pop culture. I definitely don’t mind a mix of the two areas, but I only collect golden age and it seems to be a struggle finding many dealers with older books at some (not all) larger conventions. I was just curious if this has been a fruitful convention in the past for comics.

We set up at this show and have for several years.  It's a good fun con because it's in Niagara Ontario.  There likely won't be many golden age books in the room, however, if you are looking for silver/bronze/copper marvel/dc we'll have a good stock of that.  Last year we did more business at NFCC than we did at Toronto Comic Con.

They don't have the dealer list up so I don't know all of who is coming, but there of course will be your typical con vendors these days from plushies to swords to comics to funkos etc

The last NFCC that I attended (just before COVID), I was able to grab a bunch of nice Bronze and Silver-Age books at a decent price. This one was around 120 CDN raw (on a wall rack) and I was able to get Bob Layton to sign it. There were some pretty good deals and a great crowd.
