The Comic Book Club of Ithaca

The Comic Book Club of Ithaca is the oldest active comic book fan club in the United States! Since its inception in February 1975, the Club has held 45 comic book conventions and numerous smaller shows.

Club meetings are on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 7-8 PM at the Tompkins County Public Library, corner of Green and S. Cayuga Streets, Ithaca, NY. All are welcome! Look for us in the Schwarz Jacobson Meeting Room at the back of the library, and check the Meetings link for details!
