GLASGOW COMIC CON 2014
Scotland’s Comic Book Festival
3 – 8 July 2014

Glasgow Comic Con is back for it's fourth year bigger than ever. With event supporter Homecoming Scotland and main sponsor Williams Brothers brewery the event is going to be something very special.

This year will see Glasgow Comic Con expand into three venues, in the heart of Glasgow city centres Arts community. CCA: Glasgow, The Art School at GSA and the Renfield Centre will play host to comic creators, artists, writers, Cosplay (short for costume play) and a wide range of celebrities from the comic industry worldwide.

There will also be a few familiar faces from previous events, plus a host of creators that have never been to Scotland and some real legends in the industry. Further to the many talks, panels, signings and sketches taking place, some of the UK’s leading independent comic book publishers will be on hand, including Black Hearted Press and a host of small press exhibitors, comic book shops, toy shops and much more exhibitors.
Glasgow Comic Con is the top comic book event in Scotland and one of the top 5 in the UK, focusing on the creators of comic books and the art and literature they create.

Mark Boyle, Black Hearted Press Marketing and Operations Director said,
“Being part of Homecoming Scotland has helped our event continue to grow for our 4th year and expand from a one day event with 500 attendees to a five day festival with 3500 attendees across four venues. Our guest line-up this year is bringing a number of creators to Scotland for the very first time, including Howard Chaykin (Artist/ Writer, American Flagg), Gail Simone (Writer, Batgirl, Red Sonja), Peter Milligan (Writer, X-Force, Bad Company) and Erik Larsen (Artist, Savage Dragon, Spiderman).”

Caroline Packman, Homecoming Scotland Director said,
“We are delighted to have Comic Con as part of the ever-expanding Homecoming programme. It presents something a little different for the event programme and ties in perfectly with our celebrating creativity theme. The event continues to grow each year and I’m sure the 2014 will once again attract a fantastic crowd.”
