Ogre's Grove to host artists Dec. 12 for Second Saturday

Holly isn't the only thing Ogre's Grove usually hauls out on the second Saturday of December. Ocean City Comic Con has been sharing the same date as Milton's Holly Fest since 2017.

Although both events had to be canceled this year due to the pandemic, Ogre's Grove will still be celebrating the convention spirit with exclusive specials and socially distanced artists at noon, Saturday, Dec. 12.

Locals may recognize the two artists from their popular submissions to the Jawsfest 2020 comic art challenge this past summer. View more of Fred Giovannitti's art at inkandenergy.com and Matt Battaglia's art at mattjbattaglia.com.

Everyone must wear masks, but those who show up in full costume will get a door prize. Cosplayers can also submit a photo to Ocean City Comic Con's virtual contest for a chance at more prizes.

The comic shop is located at 129 Union St., in the historic house next to the Milton library. Go to OgresGrove.com for more information.
