Canadian Comic Book week is being celebrated for the first time ever in Humboldt.

The Mayor of Humboldt, Rob Muench proclaimed Canadian Comic book week from June 10th to 16th. 

Jeff Burton, the writer of Aurora Man, came up with the idea to celebrate not only comic book fans but also the creators.

"We have a really good strong base of creators that are local or in and around the area anyway, and this awareness being brought to us brings the opportunity to show what we're doing and what can be done."

The Comicon in Humboldt will be taking place from noon till 6 on Saturday at the Uniplex.
