Do your kids want to go to a comic con, but you don’t want to pay the extortionate entry fees? If you’re in the North West, then Sale Comic Con is the answer! Based in various venues in the town centre, it’s a great, FREE way to have the comic con experience. There will be comic creators, cosplay, and traders, with plenty of things to do for all the family. This includes a chance to meet TV star and ‘innocent men’ viral clip sensation Hacker T. Dog (with his handler Phil Fletcher), actors George Coppen (The School for Good and Evil) and Willie Coppen (Return of the Jedi), as well as legendary comic artists Lew Stringer (Viz, Beano, etc.) and Laura Howell (Beano).
