What is a comic-con and why is it such fun? Initially, comic-cons used to be events focusing on comic books and comic book culture, however, nowadays comic-cons cover multi-genre entertainment such as films, TV and gaming and have made being ‘geeky’ cool. A comic-con is a brief escape from reality where pop culture, ie sci-fi, superheroes, zombies, fantasy, etc., can be experienced all in one room. You can meet guests from the world of film and TV as well as seeing attractions to admire and interact with.
There are geeky traders selling everything from art to collectibles, items that you simply will not be able to find on the high street. People of all ages can come along in costume, maybe of their favourite film or comic book character, as it is an opportunity to show off your geeky side.
What we have lined up for you so far: Media Guests: Miriam Margolyes (Harry Potter, Mulan) Angus MacInnes (Judge Dredd, Krypton) Ian McElhinney (Rogue One, Krypton) Ian Beattie (Game of Thrones, Alexander) Comic Creators: Paul Davidson (2000AD, X-Men etc) Craig Johnson (Project Saviour) Jack Harvey (El Jack's Comics) Authors: Steve Trower (Pixel Punk Books) Sarah Elliot (Amethyst Trilogy) Attractions: North East Ghostbusters tba tba Plus stage talks, costume characters, costume contests and so much more! Hot and cold food served all day! Awesome geeky traders selling: Comics, Graphic Novels, Books, T-Shirts, Toys, Collectables, Art, Jewellery, Props, Autographs, Gaming, Funko Pops!, Action Figures and so much more... *There will be a charge for autographs, due to work and personal commitments guests can cancel their appearance at anytime, this is something that Unleashed Events have no control over and cannot be held responsible for.
