LepreCon, one of the Valley’s longest-running science fiction and fantasy events, returned for its 41st edition this past weekend at the Embassy Suites Phoenix North. For three straight days from Friday, June 26, to Sunday, June 28, the convention offered the chance for locals to geek out about both otherworldly and fantastical realms, as well as meet and interact with such special guests as Star Trek writer David Gerrold and G.I. Joe artist Larry Hama.
