MexAmeriCon, Austin’s original Latinx Comic Book Convention (Comic Con) is back for Issue #7 - Our 7th year!
This year's MexAmeriCon will be in conjunction with the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center's Dia de Los Muertos celebration.

The event will showcase Mexican American and Latinx artists who work through the medium of comic books, graphic novels, zines and other related media. There will be an artist alley, as well as interviews and panels exploring topics relating to comics and Latinx Culture. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage face to face with these talented creators!
MexAmeriCon is organized by a group of dedicated volunteers who grew up reading comic books and believe in the value of Latinx art and culture. Our focus at MexAmeriCon is to create a positive and inclusive environment for both artists and attendees to unite and share.
