HEROES CONVENTION was founded in 1982 by Shelton Drum, owner of Charlotte's Heroes Aren't Hard To Find comics shop. Since then the convention has become famous for its comics-first and family-friendly atmosphere, where fans can mingle directly with professionals and exhibitors. Boasting an incredible guest list built mainly on reputation and goodwill, HeroesCon is known nationwide as a "must" on the summer schedule, drawing fans, exhibitors, and creators from every region of the country to the Charlotte Convention Center.

“KIBBY’S SIDEKICKS”
Our small, hardworking, staff couldn’t pull it off each year without the help of our dedicated volunteers, lovingly nicknamed “Kibby’s Sidekicks” in memory of our friend, and HeroesCon Volunteer Extraordinare, Charles Kibby.
