5 Must-See Comic Art Shows Lighting Up New York
New York Comic Con returns to the Javits Center from October 9–12, 2025, bringing a pop culture celebration of comics, toys, video games, and cosplay. This year's edition features a special panel by the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, moderated by Martin Scorsese with artists JR, Boris Vallejo, and Julie Bell. Meanwhile, the late fantasy artist Frank Frazetta set a new record for comic art with a $13.5 million sale at Heritage Auctions. Beyond the convention, several exhibitions across the city highlight comic art, including "¡Wepa! Puerto Ricans in the World of Comics" at the New York Public Library and "Super Duper" at the Metropolitan Opera House, which features works by Art Spiegelman, George Condo, and Dana Schutz.
