Our Mission Statement
To create a fun family-oriented atmosphere for our attendees with an original comic book and cartoon artists with a pop culture theme.
Max The Squirrel
Our expo mascot “Max” revels in every pop culture fandom. Along with collecting acorns as squirrels do, Max collects comic books and original art from our pop culture creators who made it all possible. (Each year AnnMaré Cruz delightfully creates our mascot and Floydman completes flyer layout.)
Building Our Fandom
The Mid Valley Comic Art Expo is owned and operated by Lahar Promotions LLC. This pop-culture and artist-focused fan convention takes place annually at the Oregon Expo at Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem, Oregon.
Original Comic Art Expo
Our event focuses on past through present comic book artists, writers and publishers who have created the pop culture fandom. We emphasize original art to build deeper connections with comic professionals, local businesses and community groups.
