Plenty of fans flocked to the New York Comic Con in midtown Manhattan yesterday for a chance to dress up like Luke Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi.

For Steve Vincent and Mike McLaughlin, owners of a Forked River, Ocean County, comic book company, this weekend's three-day convention was a chance to catch up with old friends and sell a few comics.
