    Hi – The second link on the 2016 table seems to be broken – it goes to True Believers, not animanga – it should be: https://www.facebook.com/events/517723685058274/ or http://amp.keep-it-secret.co.uk/

      Hi there. Due to the considerable amount of events now referring to themselves as comic cons, we are not listing them until they are either already proven or prove themselves to have a comic related element to the show. There have been some this last couple of years that have had no comic related sellers or guests still referring to themselves as comic-cons. We believe these should therefore be listed elsewhere under film/TV/sci-fi conventions.

      Should the organisers wish to be listed, then we welcome contact from them.

        Organisers should refer to the FAQ on the contact page for guidance on what we consider comic related.

    Where are the TWO Wrexham comic-cons in 2016 AND Llandudno Sci-Fi Wales??? These are worthy of a mention surely?!

      Thank you for the message. Treating your message as a question (thus ignoring the stream of irritating question marks and implied aggressive intent), we usually list Wales Comic Con, happy to do so. We don’t list sci-fi conventions or conventions that are not comic related, please refer to the FAQ for more details if you are unsure about ‘comic related’. If in future you would like something listing, please contact me directly with the event details through my email address as other organisers do. Regards, Neil.
