Help Fund Leamington Spa's First Comic Con!

I love my comics and I've been a regular at the MCM Memorabilia Expo and Comic Cons at the NEC in Birmingham the last few years too, plus the London Film and Comic Con as well. And now there are plans afoot to bring the fandoms and fun of a comic con closer to home.

Dan Mallier is looking to launch Leamington Spa's very first Comic Con at The Royal Leamington Spa Pump Rooms on Saturday October 18, and he's seeking the help from local heroes (writers, illustrators and fans) to unite and use their powers (love) for comics and memorabilia, with the aspiration to one day transform this project into a permanent Hulk-sized fixture.

The Indiegogo project is looking at raising £1500, with 100% of the profits going back in to fund more Leamington Comic Cons. The total raised will go towards:

• Leamington's first comic con
• Venue hire, furniture
• Q&A panel of writers and illustrators
• Super hero/villain photo booth
• 501st Stormtrooper Legion appearance
• Goodie bag for first 100 visitors
• Live event podcasting
• Promotional material

And being a crowd-funded project, there are cool rewards for helping fund this project too which include free entry into the Comic Con, a free comic and a free T-shirt!

Head on over to the Indiegogo page, and follow them on Facebook and on Twitter @LeamComicCon and help spread the word on this exciting project and bring a slice of geekdom to Leamington Spa.
