The Arizona Comicbook Arts Festival (AZCAF) will be held at The Phoenix Shrine Auditorium and Event Center on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023 from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Tickets are on sale and limited to only 1,500.

“As more comic conventions have morphed into giant pop culture spectacles, I thought it was time to try a throwback approach to when comic conventions were all about comics and the creators who made them,” said Ryan Cody, comic creator and event founder. “AZCAF will be comics and creator focused, which I think makes for a wonderful event for fans and allows them the time and space to interact with some of our amazing guests. When you’re at a show with thirty thousand other people in the room, it’s easy to feel left out. Our show is small, intimate, and focused. I think it’s exactly what Arizona comicbook loving fans have been wanting. Our show is affordable and puts the emphasis back where it belongs, on the comics and people who make them.”
