Genghis Con

Genghis Con returns today for its 11th installment, taking over the Tenk Building on the West Bank of the Flats. This time around, local graphic artist John G has recruited Cleveland artists such as Sequoia Bostick, co-founder of Cleveland's Vagabond Comics, to help organize the event and select the lineup of exhibitors. The event is similar to other makers' markets or local bazaars, only this time, booths are filled with independent writers and artists touting their 'zines and comics and other affiliated goods. This year, the Weird Realms DIY Game Room is also making a return. It highlights locally produced board games and role-playing games (think Dungeons & Dragons) — and don't worry, the rules will be explained. The show runs from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Tenk Buildling. It's free. (Laura Morrison) 2111 Center St., genghisconcleveland.com.
