The Black Comic Book Festival is back in person at the Schomburg Center for the first time since the start of the pandemic. Thousands of people will be in Harlem this weekend to check out the work from 50 different vendors. TVJessi reports.
The festival is expected to be the largest yet, with 50 vendors and more than 8,000 registered visitors.

Because every story is your story." "That super-heroism can translate outside of the pages like it does with our social justice work and philanthropy in Puerto Rico," Miranda-Rodriguez said.
