Storm troopers, comics, film screenings and live music are on tap for the Menlo Park main library’s second free Comic Con event, set for Saturday, May 13, from 3 to 7 p.m.
At 3:30 p.m., the Derek Smith Pankind Duo will perform covers of video game tunes, Disney music and more “with the driving rhythms of Calypso and Latin Jazz,” according to event coordinator John Weaver.
At 5 p.m. the Cantina Band will perform music from video games and movies.
Film screenings include “King Kong vs. Godzilla” (1962) at 3:10 p.m. and “V for Vendetta” (2005) at 4:45 p.m.
There will also be a photo booth and a “cosplay” contest, where people are encouraged to dress like their favorite comic, sci-fi, video game or fantasy characters.
Artists from the Walt Disney Family Museum will give lessons on how to draw comic pages. Artists and vendors selling art, books and other goods are also scheduled to attend, according to Mr. Weaver.
The library is at 800 Alma St. in the Menlo Park Civic Center.
