Dust off your favorite cosplay costume. The NorthEast ComicCon & Collectibles Extravaganza returns to the Boxboro Regency Hotel for three days of photo ops, panels, and presentations from March 11-13. There will be vendors selling comics, toys, art, books, memorabilia, crafts, and pop culture collectibles; celebrity guests signing autographs and offering selfie ops; and comic book artists and writers ready to chat up their latest creations.

Fans and collectors will love catching glimpses (and even – gasp – meeting) celebrity guests, such as Tara Reid (of “Big Lebowski,” “American Pie,” and “Sharknado” fame), Candy Clark (“American Graffiti,” “The Man Who Fell To Earth”), Vernon Wells (“Mad Max,” “Commando”), Guy Gilchrist (“The Muppets” comic strip), Philo Barnhart (“The Little Mermaid”), Ken Wheaton (Bongo Comics such as “The Simpsons”), Keith Williams (“The Phantom”), and many more.

Need more reasons to attend? How about admission to star-studded after-parties celebrating each day’s close. There will be Karaoke with the Stars featuring local rocker Cowboy Mach Bell and a courtyard concert with tongue-in-cheek original songs, covers, and parodies from Boston’s greatest party band, The Fools.

The show’s vendor and exhibit hours are Friday, March 11, from 4 p.m. (special early buyer’s access at 3 p.m.) until 8 p.m.; Saturday, March 12, from 10 a.m. (special early buyer’s access at 9 a.m.) until 6 p.m.; and Sunday, March 13, from 10 a.m. (special early buyer’s access at 9 a.m.) until 5 p.m.
