Both the main BCC channel and KLC channel (https://www.baltimorecomicconlive.com/kids) will run simultaneously, so while the adults enjoy their programming, kids and aspiring artists can see and learn from a variety of graphic novel creators, all Saturday the 24th and Sunday the 25th.

“We’re so happy to be a part of Baltimore Comic-Con once again,” said cartoonist and Kids Love Comics Program Director Mark Mariano, who has been overseeing (with brother Chris Mariano) the classes and how-to’s for kids at BCC for over 10 years, adding, “Even though we are not all together in person, Marc Nathan and the fine folks of BCC are continuing their commitment to a family-friendly comics environment.”
