Comic fans made their way to the Roanoke Valley Comic-Con show Saturday afternoon.

Vendors from as far as Florida and Washington D.C. brought their comic books, action figures and other collectibles to the show.

"It seems it's a very good release from the everyday stresses of life, so they find their escape out here in the super hero and fantasy world," says Chris Garbee.

Two of the bigger hard to find items were "Spiderman" and "Daredevil."
