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 14th annual Captain's Comic Expo returns on February 22-23, 2025.
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! Sunday hosts the largest cosplay event in Charleston, Cosplay LIVE!

CCE is a curated event. We only allow a reasonable number of vendors of each category. Too many of any one type of vendor or art style 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.
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. If you are unable to participate in the Expo after payment, please let Mike know asap. No refunds after January 15th, 2022. For additional questions, please email Mike at captainscomics@gmail.com
