East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention

Organizer of The 11th Annual Glyph Comics Awards

As the nation’s first full-service comic book convention, ECBACC offers: an annual convention, professional consultancy, and youth literacy initiatives year-round, including the S.T.A.R.S program; annual awards programs, including the ECBACC Pioneer / Lifetime Achievement Award and the Glyph Comics Awards, both first-of-a-kind industry awards; the first convention-based African-inspired superhero, sci-fi & fantasy cosplay contest: AfriCoz; first-rate professional comic book industry workshops, including training in the patented ECBACC 4-Panel Method, in conjunction with several community-based organizations (ECBACC Synergy); and the Read For Fun Workbook (Vols. 1 & 2) produced by ECBACC Publishing. As the region’s premiere “Black Comic Book Convention” and the forerunner and template for urban comic book & sci-fi conventions, ECBACC has opened doors for comic books, graphic novels and sci-fi, and their creators, to be taken seriously by academia and the general public.
