The second Malta Comic Convention is now only a matter of a few weeks away, with Liam Sharp, Gary Erskine, Tim Perkins, Sean Azzopardi, Claudio Castellini, Renee Witterstaetter and Dave Windett now just some of the confirmed guests.
Unfortunately, the event, which runs from 16th – 17th October clashes with the British International Comic Show in Birmingham and the Gijon Comics Festival in Spain so some fans are going to feel spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding which comics event to get to – especially with the giant MCM Expo in London at the end of the month. But for anyone perhaps wanting some sun with their superheroes I’d imagine it would be pretty guaranteed in Malta, even in October.
