OAFCON (Oklahoma Alliance of Fans) have  been hosting comic book and collectible shows since 1970 in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.  Our shows are not like the larger media-themed comic-con events. OAFcon is designed to be smaller with a greater focus on comics for sale and comics history.


MAIN EXHIBIT ROOM

The OKLAHOMA COMIC CREATORS present an impressive display of regional and local talent with Publishers, Artists and Writers presenting  their latest work!  

See guests list below as more are confirmed we regularly add them to this page.

Dealers from across the country will once again grace our room with one of the largest and finest  selections of comic books, pulps, paperbacks, posters, original artwork, toys, gum cards, and more! Our 90 table room is packed with goodies for you to browse and buy!  Come see why collectors and dealers shop at OAFCON.. 

PANELS & PRESENTATIONS

This year OAFCON has added an event room on Saturday that will feature the following: 


Robert Brown  with Convention Welcome   
Show and Tell starts

 PLEASE consider bringing something for the SHOW & TELL segment at NOON. Bring something from your collection you are proud of owning and come up to the podium and speak a bit about it and show it off… This is always fun as we get to see some very cool and rare items
