Although Mesa County Libraries are planning virtual Comic Con-related events this fall, we are happy to have the opportunity to display the Comic Con Art Show at the Central Library (Aug 28 – Oct 28 ) in addition to the virtual show (see below for slideshow). Stop by anytime the library is open to view these pieces up close and personal as they have great qualities that you don’t want to miss.
The Comic Con Art Show is made up of artwork that highlights graphic literature, sequential art, and comics as a literary medium. All ages are welcome to submit artwork and age categories, typically aligned with our costume contest age categories, are 11 & under, 12-18, and 19 & up.
Selections and winners of the show are decided by MCL’s Art Committee and Friends of Mesa County Libraries generously provide honoraria. Winners in each category are:
Ages 11 & Under
First – Groot in the Fall by Melody Hewitt
Second – Iron Inn by Dominic Hewitt
Third – Thanos in Space by David Gresham
