WHAT IS YC3?
YC3 stands for, The Yonkers Comic & Cosplay Convention, and is best known as “Yonkers Comic Con”. YC3 was founded by Yonkers-based artists Evan Bishop and Katori Walker, and is an offshoot of their successful program, the I AM A HERO: Comic Book Creation Workshops. It is the mission of YC3 to assemble the largest group of comic book and cosplay creators, fans, and collectors that the city of Yonkers has ever experienced. In 2022 we were awarded an ArtsWestchester grant. In 2023, we hosted the first comic book exhibition at Yonkers Arts’ gallery that featured the artwork of local artists who created original superheroes and was well attended. We even received a proclamation by Yonkers’ Mayor Mike Spano.
