The family friendly event features a full programme of exclusive events featuring the famous artists and writers attending and there is something for everyone, whether you enjoy superheroes like Spider-Man and Batman, sci-fi action like Guardians of The Galaxy or any of the other genres that comic books have brought to life in recent years heavily influencing cinema and popular culture.
