Big Apple Comic Con Silver Anniversary 2021

For over 20 years Big Apple Conventions has presented the most outrageously fun comic and popular culture convention in New York City. Founded and owned by comic book maven Michael “Mike Carbo” Carbonaro in 1995, the show started at the auditorium of St Paul’s Church on 10th Ave. in Manhattan.

In the late 90’s the BACC continued at the Metropolitan Pavilion, and for the 13 years we were at the Pennsylvania Hotel on 33rd St. and 7th Ave. across from Madison Square Garden.

Our convention is the premier boutique comic and popular culture show in the City, chock full of celebrities, dealers, collectors, cosplayers, and folks out for a great time in the City.

Now we are moving to the amazing, historic New Yorker Hotel (totally remodeled by Wyndham) at 401 8th Ave (still across from MSG on the west side). We call it the Daily Planet Building and think it is the perfect venue for NYs community comic con.
