Nickel City Comic Con Appearance
Bai Ling, the Chinese-American actress celebrated for her genre work in The Crow and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, announced on Instagram that she’ll be a special guest at Nickel City Comic Con in Buffalo, New York. The three-day event takes place from June 27 to June 29 at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, drawing fans from across upstate New York and beyond.
In a post accompanied by four photos, the star playfully asked, “Is it actually in #NYC? Or how far from Buffalo to #NewYorkCity?” before inviting followers: “Hope you will come say hello if you are near.”
Fan Autographs And Photo Opportunities
Addressing autograph requests head-on, Bai Ling wrote, “Some of you asked me how to get my autograph? You can come to this Comic Con to see me to get your photos and autographs with me in person.” She encouraged fans to check the official con schedule for her booth times and any VIP photo-op upgrades that secure quick, personalized sessions.
Attendees who pre-book photo packages can expect professional prints, while walk-in guests have the chance to snap casual selfies and exchange a few words with the actress at her signing table.
Fan Story Highlight
Bai Ling also shared a heartwarming message from one of her dedicated followers. The final two images in her slideshow show a note reading “#DM me so sweet that made my day,” a gesture the actress said “brightened my week.” She added, “We are each other’s dreammakers,” underscoring the mutual inspiration that drives her to appear at these events.
Merch And Fashion Shop
Along with signing autographs, Bai Ling encouraged fans to pick up limited-edition fashion pieces from her online boutique. “Click the link in my bio to get my fashion items now and bring to the Comic Con—I will sign for you in person,” she said. Her Instagram handles @bailinghollywoodpopularshop and @quarantineromancee lead directly to the “Bai Ling Hollywood Shop” where apparel and accessories are available for pre-order.
Popular items include graphic tees inspired by her iconic film costumes and streamlined jackets perfect for convention panels. Orders placed before June 20 can be collected on site, turning a style purchase into a collector’s item signed by the actress herself.
Convention Circuit Experience
This won’t be Bai Ling’s first time on the con circuit. In April, she joined comic book artist James O’Barr at Atlanta Comic Con. She posted, “Visit comic book artist James O’Barr’s booth at the ATL Comic Convention and meet special guest Bai Ling,” reaffirming her status as a regular fixture at fan gatherings.
Her participation in multiple genre expos has cemented her reputation for candid Q&A sessions, impromptu runway-style walk-throughs and hands-on engagement that set her apart as a convention favorite.
About Bai Ling
Born Bai Qing in Chengdu, China, on October 10, 1966, she trained at the Sichuan Training School before moving to the U.S. in the early 1990s. Bai broke into Hollywood with The Crow (1994) and went on to star in Red Corner (1997), Anna and the King (1999) and an array of sci-fi and action features. Her blend of bold performances and fearless style has earned her a devoted following in both film and pop-culture circles.
Location And Logistics
Nickel City Comic Con is located at One Museum Court in downtown Buffalo. The drive from New York City to Buffalo runs about six hours; fans closer to Rochester, Syracuse or Toronto often make the trip for this summer highlight. Single-day badges and full-weekend passes are available online, with VIP options offering early entry and priority seating. Organizers recommend securing tickets in advance, as peak days tend to sell out quickly.
Bai Ling’s mix of blockbuster credits, genuine fan engagement and signature fashion offerings ensures that her booth will be one of the busiest on the show floor. Whether you’ve followed her career from The Crow to Star Wars or you’re discovering her through social media, this is the summer convention stop that promises a memorable connection.
With her trademark humor and heartfelt enthusiasm, Bai Ling looks forward to meeting fans June 27–29, turning shared dreams into tangible memories—one autograph at a time.
