London Super Comic Con: For the Fans

Another year, another amazing show by London Super Comic Convention. Six years now and the fans keep on coming. 

LSCC is and has always been about the comic book fans and the show definitely delivers for them. The fans get there super early in order to see their favourite artists and writers and to buy comics and novels.

I was volunteering again this year, from Friday 11am until Sunday 2pm, I was there to assist, Jon, Gary, Sherwin and the rest of the team. We were an army of about 40 volunteers with the sole aim of running a great show.

My role- not as Spiderman

The convention is for all. Families, comic fans, film buffs, novel enthusiasts, collectors and cosplayers too. All were evident across the three days. The effort made by all was impressive and a sample of outfits can be seen below.

New Venue- Business Design Centre in Islington

This years venue was at the Business Design Centre. This was a new venue, new time and layout. Set out across three days, over the August Bank Holiday weekend, guests were arriving early doors on the Friday.

Comic Fans are passionate and loyal. They are also hardcore and determined. The fans would queue up way before start time to see their heroes. 

One of the main heroes was Brian Michel Bendis. This guy was the creator of the Marvel Ultimate Universe. The queues to see Mr Bendis were well over two hours long. The fans were willing and happy to wait. Dedication. They were very lucky as Mr Bendis happily dedicated extra time to see many fans and sign as many books as possible.

Another great convention. Thank you all the volunteers, artists, exhibitors and most importantly you- The Fans. See you Soon!
