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!
Dealers from across the country will once again grace our room with one of the largest and best 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..
