Read the details, then apply below!

Captain's  Comic Expo is Charleston's longest running comic book event. CCE is  hosted and organized by Charleston's own Captain's Comics and Toys. We  strive to organize the best event possible for the community because we  are invested everyday in the community! Our 18th annual Captain's Comic  Expo returns on February 21-22, 2026.

The  Expo is a comic-focused event with a variety of comic dealers, artists,  comic book pros, cosplay, and fun! The Omar Shrine Event Hall at  Patriot's Point has been a perfect venue since 2015. The 2 day Expo will  host a food truck rodeo featuring some of the best eats in the area.  Saturday welcomes the Star Wars 501st Legion, a team of movie-accurate  Star Wars characters who interact with fans (pending approval)! Sunday  hosts the largest cosplay event in Charleston, Cosplay LIVE!

Vendor  Tables- includes a 6' table in a 6'x6' space and includes 2 passes to  the event. Tables are $170 each and vendors are welcome to purchase up  to 4 inline tables.

Artist  Tables- includes a 6' table in a 6'x6' space and includes 2 passes to  the event. Tables are $130 each and artists are welcome to purchase up  to 2 tables. Artist tables are for traditional pencil/ink artwork,  digital artwork, and prints. Authors selling their own comics/novels are  also able to purchase artist tables.

T-shirt,  jewelry, crafting, and other table types will be considered vendor  tables. If you have follow up questions, please contact Mike at captainscomics@gmail.com

Vendor  Bricks- Vendor Bricks are very limited availability and rarely open up.  If you had one at the 2025 Expo, please let me know if you need one for  this year. If you would like to upgrade to a vendor brick, please  include that in your application. Vendor Bricks are $350.

VENDORS AND ARTISTS FROM THE 2025 EXPO HAVE FIRST PRIORITY ON TABLES FOR THE 2025 EVENT.

Tables are only guaranteed once fully paid.

Captain's  Comic Expo is a family-friendly event. All displayed artwork must fall  into a PG-13 range of content. No weapons or bootleg materials allowed  on the sales floor. We are unable to guarantee refunds for the Expo, but  we may be able to offer a credit for the following year with reasonable  notice. For additional questions, please email Mike at captainscomics@gmail.com

CCE  is a curated event. We only allow a reasonable number of vendors of  each category. Too many of any one type of vendors at the event creates a  lack of product diversity, lowers sales, and becomes unappealing for  all. For that reason, some table types will sell out faster than others.  Please be sure to fill out the form properly so we can match you with  the right category.

We  had over 100 applications for artists and craftspersons for 2025, and we  only have limited space for the event, so not everyone who applies will  get in. We will review applications in waves, so please be patient if  it takes us a little time to reply to your application. Be sure to  include if you have set up with us in the past and a link to your work,  so that we can make an informed decision on applications.
