</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[Comic book enthusiasts have a chance to buy comics, action figures and other comic memorabilia at the Burg Comics Con 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Southeastern Illinois College's conference center in the new G building.
Scott Reed, information technology instructor at SIC, organized the show knowing he and other comics enthusiasts would like a local comic venue for at least one day.
"I've been a collector since I was a kid. I travel around for shows and we are without a comic book shop," Reed said.
Reed expects over 6,000 comic books from Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse and other independents.
There will also be Super-Hero, Star Trek action figures sealed in their original packaging and much more.
At noon will be a HeroClix game tournament.
