Leamington Spa Comic Con Returns Bigger And Better For 2015!

My local comic con, Leamington Comic Con, returns on Saturday October 17 promising a bigger venue, more comics and big industry names.

After a very impressive debut last year at the Leamington Pump Rooms, this year’s convention will be held at the larger The Assembly on Spencer Street, Leamington Spa, CV31 3NF between 10.30am-5pm.

Dan Mallier, Creator of Leamington Comic Con, said: “This year’s event is shaping up to be one heck of a comeback. We’ve more than enough for avid comic fans, as well as cosplayers and families looking for a great day out.”

Leamington Comic Con received rave reviews within the industry last year, which has helped it to attract a star studded line up for its 2015 return.

Internationally renowned David Lloyd, will be the biggest draw, having co-created 'V for Vendetta' with Alan Moore, and designed V’s Guy Fawkes inspired mask. Lloyd will be promoting his latest venture, 'Aces Weekly' as he hosts a panel talk, but will also be sketching and signing autographs.

Simon Furman, comic book writer notable for Transformers comics and Andrew Wildman, British artist best known for his work on Marvel titles such as Thundercats, The Real Ghostbusters and Transformers, are also confirmed.

The event’s page on Facebook is already showing over 1,200 people are planning to
attend, so we’re expecting swarms of excited comic fans and colourful cosplayers, but
they’re will also be plenty to do for families with young children too,” added Dan.
Early-bird tickets can be bought direct from Seismic Records located at The Assembly, MG Memorabilia on Lansdowne Street or online via the Leam Comic Con Facebook page.

Priority entrance will be given to ticket holders, but people can also pay on the day.
