KCC HONORS THEIR OWN HEROS!

On April 24, 2009, in the rotunda at Bronx Community College, The Kids' Comic Con gave awards to 11 people for their tireless support of kids, comics, literacy, and the KCC. We are thankful for them, and equally proud to know them.

(KCC founder Alex Simmons, the jovial gent between Calvin and Fred, presented the awards).

Back row: Mike Pellerito (between Ali and Calvin), of Archie Comics.
