The Malone Comic Con was the idea of Case Degeon and Megan Manson, formerly Directors of the Malone Chamber of Commerce, who wanted to bring together a large family oriented community event to Malone. Inspired by the recent surge in superhero focused entertainment and the theme of the Malone Winter Carnival that year, the two devised to create their own Comic Con (modeled after popular comic book conventions).
Malone Comic Con has been growing rapidly since it’s founding in 2016. In one year, the convention tripled it floor space by moving to the Franklin Academy High School, tripled the number of vendors in the Dealer’s Room, added additional entertainment, and both local and greater known talent to the convention to visit with our community.
The Malone Comic Con successfully profited and donated the proceeds of it’s prior conventions back the community, reinvested in other community projects and events.
