Doors open at Lancashire’s biggest comic convention at the Winter Gardens tomorrow, with new attractions including a ‘Back To The Future’ Delorian, a £150 cosplay competition, a selection of retro video game consoles, replica film sets, and workshops with artists Sonia Leong and ‘Beano’ cartoonist Lew Stringer.
In the spirit of the occasion, we’ve looked back on the event when it came to Blackpool in 2019.
