On July 11, 2009, the biggest Asian American creators in manga, mainstream and indie comics are gathering for a unique one-day event, featuring interactive workshops, intimate interviews, and hands-on opportunities to learn from the top talents in the trade. Meet and mingle with the masters. Get autographed copies of your favorite graphic novels and original sketches. And take part in provocative panels. The AACC takes place at the New Museum of Chinese in America at 215 Centre Street in Lower Manhattan. VIP Passes are $75, Adults are $25, and Students are $15. But, because of our friends at the AACC, we're able to provide discounted rates to NYCC and NYAF fans and attendees ($10 off VIP tickets and $5 off adult tickets). TO get this discounted rate, simply call Beatrice Chen with the New Museum of Chinese in America at 212.619.4785 x104 and mention code "NYCCAF".

The New York Comic Con and New York Anime Festival are not producing the Asian American Comicon, but we're big fans of their mission.
