Drawn to Comics, downtown Glendale's shop for comic books, gaming and collectibles, will partner with the Velma Teague Library for the annual Halloween ComicFest experience.

Activities for all ages will take place inside the library, 7010 N. 58th Ave., and outside in Murphy Park as well as inside Drawn to Comics across the street, 5801 W. Glendale Ave., from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28.

Enjoy local artists, select vendors, crafts, games, cosplay and free comics on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

“We are so excited to once again be collaborating with the library to bring you all free comics, astounding artists, cosplay, entertainment and more,” Ken Brown, Drawn to Comics owner, shared in a press release.

Meet comic book artists and buy custom creations from vendors. Watch live lightsaber combat choreographed by Syndicate Saber United and medieval combat demonstrations by the Kingdom of Umbria outside the library in Murphy Park.

Compete in the Halloween-themed Super Smash Bros. video game tournament hosted by Umbrella Corporation Arizona Hive. Pose for photo ops with local cosplayers and wear your own costume.

Halloween ComicFest is an annual event on the last Saturday in October, during which participating comic book specialty shops across North America and around the world give away exclusive comic books for free to showcase the industry.
