The New York and San Diego Comic Cons may be the biggest celebrations of the year for comic books and pop culture, but one can feel a bit overwhelmed at times due to their size and large crowds. For those looking for something smaller and less exhausting, then maybe the East Coast Comic Con at the Meadowlands Expo Center is your best bet.

It’s happening again this weekend, from May 17 to 19.

East Coast Comic Con will feature old and new comics alike. Whether it’s the golden age, silver age, bronze age, or the present, fans and collectors are sure to find something to scratch their itch and find those rare books that have eluded them for so long.

Besides the endless amounts of comics, fans can meet some of their favorite artists in the medium including well known names like Keith Giffen, Bob Camp, Larry Lieber, George Perez, and Marv Wolfman.

Props and vehicles from shows and movies past will also be on display for photo ops including all of the Batmobiles from 1966 (the Adam West TV series), 1989 (Tim Burton/Michael Keaton), 1995 (Batman Forever), 2005 (the Dark Knight Trilogy), and 2016 (Batman V Superman).

Panel discussions will also be available during all three days, including Danny Fingeroth, author of the upcoming biography “A Marvelous Life: The Amazing Story of Stan Lee." Fingeroth will sit down with Denis Kitchen, Denny O’Neil, and Jim Salicrup, who have all worked with Lee during his 80 year career on Friday, May 17, at 6 p.m.

Two cosplay contests will also take place on Sunday, May 19, with one for kids and another for adults. Kids categories include best cosplay for ages 5 and under, best 6 to 12, best teen, best parent/kid team, and funniest costume. Adult categories include a $500 grand prize for best costume, best comic character, best pop culture (for movie, TV, video game, etc.), best couple, best group, and funniest costume. The kids contest takes place at 4:30 p.m. and the adult contest takes place at 5 p.m.

Tickets can be bought for any of the three days this weekend, each with varying prices, or even for all three days together at eastcoastcomicon.com/buy-tickets. Hours for East Coast Comic Con are 2 to 8 p.m. on Friday, May 17, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, May 18 and 19. The Meadowlands Expo Center is located at 355 Plaza Dr., Secaucus.
