Come and get original art, sketches, signatures or buy some hand crafted comics. Artist's Alley is a little separated from the rest of the comics content

But it's not intuitively obvious where Artists Alley is at NYCC this year  Which is a shame because it's big, bigger than other Alleys I've seen, with lots of space and great natural lighting Even ATM machines at the entrance, so you can never use the excuse that you haven't any more money on you.
