After last year’s awesome debut, Leamington Comic Con 2015 will be back on Saturday October 17th, promising a bigger venue, more comics and big industry names, including Aces Weekly publisher David Lloyd and a host of other great names from the UK inside scene..

Having outgrown its previous venue, this year’s convention will be held at The Assembly on Spencer Street in Leamington, between 10:30-5:00pm.

Dan Mallier, Creator of Leamington Comic Con 2015, 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, a regular at San Diego’s Convention, 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 award-winning digital comics 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 pay on the day.
