However, this news will NOT stop one comic shop owner. Larry Doherty owner of Larry’s Comics just sent out a mass email stating that:

I just heard Boston Comic con is officially cancelled due to the manhunt for the Boston marathon bomber.

We should not allow terrorists to control our lives.

I  will not allow these douche-bags to control mine.
Let’s have a fun day together & heal.
FREE for vendors.
FREE for fans.
FREE for creators.

Tomorrow in Lowell, MA I’m hosting an impromptu convention:

The show MUST go on in my building in Lowell, MA.

Tell the fans.
Use your Twitter & Facebook.

Tell the vendors.

Tell the creators.

I’ll be up all night.

We need tables & volunteers to shuttle creators from Boston.

Call me for more info.

 

Best of luck to Larry and to everyone that will still attend their own “Boston Comic Con”
