Charlie’s Comic Con is back on January 18th, 2026 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Estero, Florida, and this year’s lineup is bringing some serious star power! The convention runs from 10am to 5pm and features special guests Tim Jacobus (the legendary artist behind those iconic Goosebumps book covers that haunted your childhood) and Dave B. Mitchell (prolific voice actor known for roles in anime, video games, and animation). Plus, you’ll find 40+ exhibitors packed with comic books, Funko Pops, art, action figures, TCG cards and more!
This is the kind of pop culture and comics convention where you can actually find what you’re looking for. Hunting for that elusive back issue to complete your collection? Need a specific Funko Pop that’s been taunting you online? Want to dig through action figures and trading cards? The vendor lineup has you covered, and you’ll get to meet some incredible talent while you’re at it.
Ticket prices won’t break the bank. General admission for ages 13 and up is $20. Kids ages 6-12 get in for $10, and little ones 5 and under are free. Rolling up in cosplay? You’ll save five bucks with $15 admission. VIP passes are $45 and get you the premium experience. And here’s a fun bonus—if it’s your birthday, you and one lucky friend get in absolutely free!
The Embassy Suites by Hilton is at 10450 Corkscrew Commons Dr in Estero, right between Fort Myers and Naples, making it an easy trip from anywhere in Southwest Florida or beyond. The venue’s got plenty of space to browse the exhibitor floor without playing bumper cars with other fans.
Charlie’s Comic Con has great guests, and solid vendors with the merchandise you actually want, and a laid-back atmosphere where fans can geek out together. Mark your calendar for January 18th, 2026 from 10am to 5pm. See you there!
