Ithacon 46 was held at Ithaca College on April 22 and 23, featuring comic books for sale, fans, artists and cosplayers.
Since 1976, the Comic Book Club of Ithaca has been organizing Ithacon, a local comic book-centered convention. With the exception of 2020, Ithacon has been running annually for members of the Ithaca community to attend and participate in the activities. The 46th convention was held over the course of two days, April 22 and 23, across Phillips, Egbert, Williams and Textor Halls. Local Ithaca fans and members of the campus community gathered together to enjoy the events and atmosphere.
